To be fair, the last two tinkers to make such game changing and hope promising tech had the Simurgh drop on them. Now Haywire is dead and Sphere became Mannequin. And, unknown to Piggot, Brainstorm aka Andrew Ritcher got ganked by Leviathan, though people think he was aiming for Dragon so it still applies.Seriously, instead of looking at all the previous failures and saying, "Let's keep people from trying to make a positive change in favour of making sure that nothing terrible can happen."
Basically, when a Tinker like Taylor comes along, you have to start planning for an Endbringer right now. That's not even including all the other parties from the Empire to the Slaughterhouse 9 who could take interest in Taylor's tech. From Piggot's perspective Taylor/Loom has opened Pandora's box and Piggot's too late to slam the thing shut again. Now she's left scrabbling to try and find hope but Chief Director Costa-Brown won't share it with her.
I don't think she's worried about Taylor selling to anyone else, the assessment of someone she grudgingly respects has indicated Loom is heroically inclined. What's she worried about is someone getting to Loom before she can make contact with the PRT again. If when Armsmaster had realized the potential ramifications of the fabricator he'd contacted her immediately and stalled Loom until she could get there, or brought loom straight to her instead of playing/experimenting with the tech she wouldn't be nearly as worried. Now instead of getting off on the front foot as far Loom is concerned she's having to react and is on the back foot. Who knows if any of the gangs will get to her before the PRT? And if they do? Well, that's potentially the world gone right there. Piggot knows she has leaks, she knows that info is likely out there by now, and that's why she's stressing.All of this can be done in exchange for her helping Armsmaster and Kid Win on their projects, as well as an exclusive sales deal with the PRT.
Like I said, the evil is already out of the box so to speak and Piggot is afraid things will only get worse. Hence why she so desperately wants Taylor brought in so she can protect the potentially world ending Tinker before some villain or an Enbrionger drops on her head.
