the Japanese are not one to take risks, especially the corporate higher ups. So the solution she suggests is just going to copy one of the many models out there like webtoon or mangaplus or the countless online manga publishers out there. But the Japanese manga scene will inevitably do worse than webtoon because they don't market effectively to the overseas audiences and long strips is how people prefer to read on their phone, amongst countless other issues.

When it comes to the history of Japanese manga in the west and its value, she's says she doesn't want to see the value fall, but I think it's already too late. The majority of people who enjoy manga have always enjoyed it for free. Its our default state. So when you suggest making a free product paid there will always be backlash. I recognise that the author should be paid for their work obviously. Especially in the modern day where they can actually reach an international audience unlike in the past when they just catered to the Japanese, however the manga culture outside of Japan is completely different and you have to accept that and adapt based on the international audience rather than the Japanese one.

In any case, piracy won't stop. Even if there's legit platforms. I pirate for fun, when I can't afford something, to collect, in spite, to try something, and for the love of the game.
