Whatever the reason, it's not fair to judge until we have at least heard both versions of the story. There is still a lot we don't understand.
If it was an unintended effect, you would think she would also be trying to undo what she had done. But instead she is trying to prevent the rejoining from happening at all costs. There is no reason given other than "because I want you to, you are my chosen". You would think that if the consequences would be more dire than her just being dethroned, she would have mentioned it at some point. If nothing else it would just make us try harder if we knew that rejoining the shards would mean the end off all existence.

The shatter happened tens of thousands of years ago, I think the "wait and hear the reasons from the thing that destroyed us" approach to why we shouldn't try to recover from genocide went out the door many millennia ago and isn't really a reasonable option to begin with
