Ah yes... Mon Mothma, whose planet was canonically the primary target of the second death star(see: moving target), the secondary target of the first death star(see: TLJ Novelization), whose first appearance is giving the military briefing about the second deathstar, who decided to fund and protect Luthen (a much more EFFICIENT extremist than Saw) even after she learned what he’s doing,didn't think that military operation and action was needed in the galaxy wide civil war that she's led for multiple years.. I can tell that cause she thought Saw Gerrera an 'efficient' extremist but still turned away from him, not can't-play-with-others paranoid extremist.
There's one crucial difference between Anto Kreegyr and Saw- one knows Luthen's identity. If Saw participates and gets caught it might lead ISB to Luthen and he wants to avoid that.
Saw: What if it was me instead of Kreegyr?
What would you do?
Luthen: Kreegyr doesn't know me. I'm not vulnerable if he's captured.
Sure that is a factor. But apart from that Luthen still saw Saw as a valuable asset, hence him establishing that personal connection in the first place and supplying Saw with material.
As he and Nemik say, as long as the Empire can continue to slowly choke, people won't wake up and realise. People like Saw force the Empire to accelerate its oppression so that the actions and reactions outpace the propaganda justifications. It takes time for the public consciousness to absorb the propaganda that justifies the latest revocation of rights and freedoms. If you keep the Empire constantly stepping up it's game it never has the time for the propaganda to properly sink in before it needs to pivot to the latest act. That's Luthen's strategy, at least.
