To be honest, the only conclusion I can draw from all of this is that if she wasn't under Nihilego's influence when her personality started to change and her obsession with saving the Ultra Beasts began, that's probably a more terrifying thought than whatever juju comes up when you are made into a symbiont with Nihilego - the fact that she would willingly let herself stoop down to the level of letting a very dangerous being overtake her body despite the risk of losing her sense of self and losing to her inhibitions and primal instinct almost completely, knowing what kind of madness it brings if you pull out after the whole experience (as may be hinted at by how Guzma reacted to being possessed by one himself)... Geez, it was enough for a mother to attempt killing her own daughter!
As for why the game doesn't come out and clarify these things... I dunno if it's actually the best idea to clarify everything. Everyone's open to their own interpretation if you leave it vague like that, and I think that's more healthy so long as they give enough details on what has happened - Better to speculate whether one or the other happened, rather than argue about what did happen and what 'should have" happened. Of course you're gonna get the latter regardless, but in my opinion, I think we're best off in the position we're at right now because we neither side will have the conclusive evidence to shut down all others in terms of what's believe to be "canon".
