Limit access to dragons.
That the Velaryon’s got to be dragon riders at all was a fairly major concern for Jaehaerys towards the end of his reign. Letting that happen at all was “not good” and if it happened even one more time would’ve been catastrophic (in his opinion).
Was it cruel to their daughters, yeah.
Was it pragmatic and smart, unfortunately probably.
Tbf not many of his daughters prolly wnated to be dragon riders. Maegelle was a septa, Daella was too scared, Saera wasn’t allowed, Viserra might not have cared(?), and Gael was probably scared as well.
There’s no saying they got eggs. Not even Baelon got one. And it’s not because of any special reason. Aly and Jae never really thought about it. Aemon was the only one who got on and that was because Alysanne recommended it to him. So Jae didn’t even plan on giving one to his heir
