I was not confused by this I was confused by her motivations.

This is not an issue. The democrats don’t have a nominee yet. This is only an issue if there is a change after they formally nominate someone. The Republicans will file frivolous lawsuits no matter what that’s no reason not to do something

AOC tries to walk a fine line between progressivism and mainstream because (1) I think she actually cares about legislating and governing (unlike the rest of the Squad) and (2) she saw how Jameel Bowman got primaried and she worries it could happen to her down the road. Right now she's firmly in the "keep Joe" camp probably because she thinks (as I do) that Joe ultimately won't give it up and she doesn't want to be one of those who plotted to kill the king but failed to kill the king.
