This show has been trying to present Rhaenyra as being the quintessential irresponsible and sheltered royal child this entire time, and presenting her and Alicent as each other's equal opposites. The oncoming conflict is meant to be as much about the tragedy of their ruined friendship as it is Viserys completely fumbling his succession and other political relationships.
The whole point of that scene of Daemon trying trying to fukk Rhaenyra being intercut with her having to go fukk Viserys when he ordered her up like a room service quesadilla was to drive home the very different realities they live. The show staff even directly said that while Alicent is doing her duty as queen, Rhaenyra is out there figuring out she can fukk for pleasure.
Otto telling her that she needs to look out for the future of Aegon on his way out just piled right on top of her already brewing negativity toward her.
And besides, characters having multiple motivations isn't necessarily anything new to Game of Thrones or entertainment in general.
