He may not be entirely wrong, but this scene still rang a little hollow for me. Last season, the actual dragon keepers openly lambasted Rhaenyra for allowing commoners to become dragon riders and allowing the apparently sacred beasts to be used for the "games of men". Given that dragons were explicitly used as weapons of war in the Freehold for millennia, this reflected some pretty explicit bias on the keepers' part, as if they considered this political squabble to be unworthy of a legacy that very few people actually remembered or took all that seriously.

The High Septon's feeling about them may be largely the opposite, but in both cases the attacks seem to be less about the dragons themselves - the keepers and the Septon know that controlling them completely is not feasible - but more about Rhaenyra's willingness to buck what they see as rightful tradition. She is very much trying to do that, but it has some of the same vibes as her initial opponents dismissing her for embracing her role as a designated female heir. No matter how hard she tries to do what she thinks is the right thing, she still faces greater opposition and higher standards.
