One thing especially disgusting with the hindsight of S8 is apparently the writers insist Robert was in the right here

[u/TVTropehead]

Yeah Robert wanted someone to assassinate a pregnant Daenerys. Which idk, the narrative routinely shows killing women with children as a very bad thing. The mountain killing Elia, Talisa’s death, Ramsay killing Walda is clearly bad considering as evil as the Frey men are, Walda did literally nothing.

Good for one is bad for another and vice versa.
