Because her actions for the last ten years actually protected Yang.

We know Yang has seen Raven secretly watching her for years, and you remember how and who saved Yang and ruby as a toddler? Yang was missing, and Qrow "found" her, now we know Raven could have been there, and she has portals directly to her daughter, so it may in fact have been Raven's doing rather than Qrow's.

When Raven fought Neo, she never had to use her maiden powers, but if she had, someone would have known that attacking Yang could summon the one with those powers, which would have made her a target, so by telling her she only gets one, Raven may have hoped to deter her from entering fights over her level where she might have to unleash the maiden powers.

Further, this context makes her weighted choice make sense, as essentially Raven's words were saying "don't choose blindly, ask questions" but her choice was "choose me blindly, or choose the rest of your family". In other words, it was a non-choice Raven gave her possibly hoping to protect her(and herself from losing a daughter), while still allowing the possibility she would leave with her daughter.
