It was the Ascians that gave up on the Thirteenth, not Hydaelyn, because they got too carried away when bringing calamity upon that shard; we never really got her opinion on the state of the Thirteenth. All we know is that her champion in that world was beaten before they could mature in a proper hero; it's very likely that Hydaelyn wanted to save the Thirteenth, but never really got the chance to do so since she usually acts via her champion(s).
