For reason 2 (the main reason justifying the use of the word rightful I'm guessing), not necessarily. Jacques is all about reputation for the Schnee name, if he revealed publicly that he changed his choice that would imply Weiss was not fit for the role and damage the reputation of a Schnee and lead to more questions with no good results.

If Weiss respectively turned down the title due to her mental state following the Fall of Beacon, it is a more sympathetic and respectable decision leading to few questions.

The latter option I saw as a better choice for preserving the Schnee reputation in my eyes as the reason, not necessarily a requirement.
