Adalind primarily saw Diana as a child. This isn't even about the viewers. The first time Adalind even thought about using Diana's powers was to save Nick and the gang and not herself. She wasn't determined to use Diana's powers for personal gain. Adalind originally planned on using Diana as asset when she was in the womb but that didn't happen after she was born and thought of her as her daughter who didn't deserve to be treated that way.
Even BC saw her mainly as a child that could be used as leverage to get Renard and Adalind onboard with BC.
