hear me out, Raiden was actually trying to save her people because she already knew everything, and didn't want any of the Vision holders to be stored to hold the false sky. yes, we know that she was doing it in the wrong way (AND I DON'T EXCUSE HER FOR THAT). but what if she realized that she had no choice left, because her people think that getting a vision is a blessing from the gods, and not a curse?
yes, vision holders can lose their minds and get negative psychological side effects, but if you really think about it.. Raiden was trying to save them and give them a less-worse fate than be nothing but an object to hold something false (even if that changed almost nothing).
and that also explains why, in her trailer, she said:
• "Only through Eternity are you closest to the Heavenly Principles", meaning that only with immortality one can be close to Heavenly Principles. Raiden was telling that everything remained the same without drawing attention from Celestia and Heavenly Principles, keeping Inazuma eternal ("Inazuma shines eternal!", her voiceline).
• "Lightning is eternal, the world is but shadow." what if she was implying about how Teyvat is the shadow of Celestia?
• "Fantasy can only survive with an underlying reality.", well, after the events of 7.2, living in Teyvat is a pure fantasy, whike she witnessed the reality.
• "Reality is the stillness buried deep within the illusion.", I'll let you think about what she was referring to.
I do not excuse her actions because, after all, she does have her own flaws.. but again, after all, it explains why she did so.
