My biggest issue with the people saying Rhaenys should have burned the Greens is the fact that they seem to be forgetting that there was no war going on yet.
Like… the Greens and the Blacks weren’t fighting, and the Greens, or at least Alicent, were still open to peace. At that point there might have been no reason to burn them. Plus, if Rhaenys was the one who killed them, she would have been acting alone, not on Rhaenyra’s behalf. It might weaken Rhaenyra’s claim to the throne.
Like she says to Daemon later, “A war is like to be fought over this, but that war is not [hers] to start.”
