I think the point of this argument she made was less personal and more rhetorical. It's not to say that there wasn't some personal truth to her feelings, but the main thrust of why she even said it was to convince Johan that he was too isolated from humanity to realize how desolate the surface really is.
What Nayuta was doing was a reversal, a turnabout, what some call antistrephon. She was not attacking Nature on her own terms, she was attacking it solely because it was coloring Johan's bias against the Ark.
