I can understand the sentiment, though I can't agree with it, as it is(at least technically) wrong.

Most of Ilia's "development" is cyclical, almost entirely revolving around Blake and her superiors, and is as though her own power of choice is diminished and/or doesn't matter, her hard choices never really had any consequences yet, and as she betrayed both sides equally it's hard to say exactly where her loyalties lie... so it is rather hard to call it "development".
