It was her that started this. Nor are we asking for the Ascians to be "absolved" we want the game to acknowledge beyond a passing statement that what she did was wrong, and to stop propping her up as a benevolent goddess when she wasn't one.
She acknowledges she did terrible things. Since SE wrote this line from her, they are obviously aware of it.

But she also endured eras of time while preparing a way to reach Meteion and to create a means of escape from the Final Days, preserving the continued existence of her people's souls.

It's not a perfect thing. She did good things and bad things to achieve her aim of saving the star.

She provides her own explanation for why she can't tell anyone. Hermes could go crazy again and Emet-Selch wouldn't believe her when he didn't the first time, so she had to identify specific people that would believe her and use the information right.

Emet-Selch even admits to us that their ways would not have led them to Meteion, so it's his opinion that if Venat had told them it would not have caused them to arrive at Meteion. Their best solution would probably have still been to summon Zodiark, so nothing changes.
