In fact, she would soon likely be at war with the most beloved man in Westeros who had a better claim to the throne.

On top of that every single Westeros Advisor (who is still alive) has betrayed her even before she took the crown. So she would have had to rely on the advise of a person who betrayed her, that the ringing of bells means that she truly surrendered and the war is over.

I just don't think it's that big of a leap for the woman who said she will burn down cities to get the throne deciding to burn down cities.
