The difference is chrysalis already had companionship the changelings she had a chance for friendship. But she used them for her own selfish means.
 
Then got another chance, and if she was the loving mother she is claimed to be, would embrace the change with them as there obviously happier and no longer have to starve. She could never let go of her pride and eventually dragged others down with her even when she would have obviously been better off embracing friendship, shes basically Walter white except for she never cared about her family.

S4 was the best finale, with the highest stakes, some of the best writing character development in the show and twilight coming into her role. She didn’t have to be ruler of everything she could have just been another princess, have them all with equal important roles.

This is where character motivation gets hazy, because besides siding with the ponies and rejecting that, we never get her impression of the change we literally had no hint of until that episode. We don’t know what that means to her because it was never explored further. No reason for her to think she couldn’t rule as Changed, but rejected from what amounts to no stated reason. Even saying it’s out of pride is iffy because her characterization becomes so thin, its more like an easy answer than an obvious one.
 
And, I deny the last statement purely from the fact that revenge on her hive never crosses her mind. It remains focused on the ponies that turned them, not the still vulnerable hive she was ousted from. Although never stating she had no intention of helping her kind survive should be enough.

Maybe because they picked up on indicators that it actually was the case and connected the dots better than you did. Chrysalis does want power and control over others. The fact that she rejects sharing love when it’s shown to leave her hive in better physical shape (physical, not necessarily aesthetic) and vows revenge rather than express gratitude at being shown a better way to live demonstrates that desire, to say nothing of the fact that subjugating ponies has been an ambition since she was small.

I think all of the Trio could plausibly be written to redemption, but that’s not the same as saying all or any of them should have been redeemed in the show.
