I would say there's a possibility she is simply trying to communicate her concerns but doesn't know to gently word it, doesn't know what being supportive looks like.

Something like this most likely.

A lot of people just don't know how to communicate their anxiety over issues effectively. Many aren't even capable of identifying why those issues make them uncomfortable. Like she's probably not a bad person or anything, but her tool kit is limited here so it's very frustrating for her and you. That's a long struggle that she'd be better off working on, but you may just need to accept.

It's "smaller" issues like this where a lot of folks would definitely benefit from talking to a therapist. She's not a horrible/broken person without that help but it sure af would probably make a lot of things easier.
