Oooo that is a good way to look at it! Yes, the revolutionaries are not creating their own thing after destroying the empire, they were coopted into restoring the republic. It's the best way to illustrate how things could have been different if more of the people who spearheaded the revolution in the first place had survived to say "this isn't what we are fighting for".
It's also pretty obvious why everyone at that table was talking dirty about Luthen. They knew he would be a barrier to their own goals as an outsider. The same could be said of their interpretation of Saw as an "extremist". Luthen never had such a negative interpretation of Saw because really they mostly shared the same goal compared to the Republic restoration troupe.
