Actually, let's go rescue her!" And if they did, would you expect everyone to just snap to it the way people did for Setsuna's little personal request?
While snapping to Setsuna's command without analysing risks at all was somewhat odd, just dropping off one girl somewhere is hardly equivalent to forming alliances with another faction or trying to "rescue" an enemy elite pilot.

Think of this like you have been drinking with a couple of buddies, all of you living in the same general direction from the bar, and you agree to take one taxi home. However, one of you suddenly brings his girl with him (that you know but didn't expect to be there) and tells you she will be joining as well, and you will drop her off to her place on your way home. It's a slightly aggressive stance but I don't see why you would argue too much against it.
