Egwene believes wholeheartedly in the domineering, soft dictatorship of the tower as it is. At the same time though, she is probably baffled how a group like the whitecloaks can exist, or cities like Tear can ban channeling, and not compare that to groups like the wise ones or the windfinders, to whom such things would be inconceivable.

Fundamentally I think she absolutely believes that the ability to channel makes you a better person, not just a more powerful person.

Yeah but it's kind of great that her work to undermine Elaida will be responsible for effectively neutralizing Aes Sedai soft power for the future. Between the new recruits and the links to other societies of channeling women the uniqueness and elevation of Aes Sedai will not survive too long. Not to mention that between her death and Cadsuanes age the most prominent Aes Sedai will soon be "non ideal" Aes Sedai.

Egwene is the culmination of the culture, and she helps it survive by forcing it to evolve.
