There’s no need to reconcile and neither contradicts the other. Endwalker gave us new reason for why Venat did what she did in addition to what we knew before from ShB.

I won’t deny the cutscene wasn’t straightforward and was more abstract than most of what we’ve seen in the game before. But if you think there’s retcons going on or giant writing mistakes, then you’re either incredibly dense, looking for a reason to be upset, or both.
