Why do I bother defending her best album if she's so damn ashamed of its underperformance? It's insulting. The quote doesn't say it all. It's just a reminder.

Has she ever even said she disliked it? All I remember is the letter where she ranted about some disappointments she'd had with the era as a whole, but she didn't seem to regret the music or direction she took. Unless I've missed something she said. She even said she loved going back and re-listening to it cause having some distance from it often yields a different perspective/appreciation, even if that new perspective is to have some objective observation about that place you'd .been in at the time I know I've had that happen many times for me when I go back and read things I wrote years ago.
And I guess you would bother defending it cuz you actually liked it and thought it was her best so far. Those are pretty good reasons, neither of which her opinion should really have any bearing on. It's quite common for artists to be out of sync with the public and conventional wisdom in terms of what they perceive to be their best/worst work. Woody Allen listed Vicky Cristy Barcelona as one of his best but not Annie Hall, Interiors, or Manhattan, which seems pretty close to objectively crazy.
It's so good
