If, as Lincoln said, she was truly worried about her people thinking her weak for letting Finn's actions go, wouldn't she have worried about the same thing with Mt. Weather? She was stuck in a difficult position. She could fight with the Sky People and try to save her people trapped in MW, losing more Grounder in the process through battle or because the MM start killing off the Grounders in MW as hostages. Or, she could lose NO ONE and get all her people back; she just has to sacrifice the Sky People who, only weeks earlier, fried 300 of her warriors.

If I were Lexa, I would have taken the deal and spun it so the Grounders would look at it as retribution for the WAG2 drop ship explosion instead of her showing "mercy" on MW.
