It seems to me that SM found herself surprisingly interested in the Jacob/Bella dynamic. That was never part of her original plan; remember, she wrote Twilight and then Forever Dawn (which was basically had all the same plot points as Breaking Dawn eventually did). She had already written E/B's wedding, birth of Renesmee, Bella being a vampire. Jacob was just a family friend with a minor crush. But it's pretty clear he took on a life of his own in the middle books that SM had not originally planned for and my theory has always been that SM liked the idea of Jacob/Bella but not as much as the Edward/Bella endgame she had literally already written. So what to do? She wants them to kiss, so she makes Jacob force himself on Bella so that Bella is blameless. She wants them to snuggle, so she puts them in a cold tent where Bella literally needs Jacob's body heat so Bella is blameless. She wants them to kiss again, so Jacob threatens getting himself killed, so Bella is blameless.

And none of the Cullens seem at all bothered by whatever is going on with her and Jacob, and they don't have the details because Alice can't see him. It would be natural for some of them to be like, "uhhhhh, what? Is she cheating on Edward?" but no! She is innocent and blameless and they all (except Rosalie) adore her! Part of the family already! Don't even worry about it! Alice even says something like "wow it must be hard to have two good options" like she is a neutral observer and one of the options isn't her brother. They aren't even bothered by her making Edward, the only mind-reader and the only one who can communicate with the wolves when they are in wolf form, sit out the fight to the death that their relationship caused. They're cool with it. Because no one can resent Bella for anything, and if they do, they're bad.

And then we have Breaking Dawn. Bella's been begging for vampirism for awhile now, but maybe wanting immortality and power and beauty might be selfish? Can't have that. She's dying in childbirth. Now it's not just an emergency transformation to save her life, she's sacrificing herself for someone else. She's absolved, and so is Edward.

Even with silly stuff, like the clothes and parities. It might be selfish of Bella to want those things, so she doesn't, but Alice just gives them to her anyway.

You know how Breaking Dawn had that emphasis on biology, in order to try to make Renesmee & the wolves genetically believable?

If we follow the same logic that the hybrid children develop the way they do for evolutionary/biological reasons…

Nahuel has venom; he can turn people into vampires. He presumably can also reproduce the way human men can, like his father and Edward have done. Renesmee and Nahuel’s sisters doesn’t have venom - but the vision of future Renesmee we saw in the movie showed that she has boobs (which she wouldn’t have developed if she didn’t need them; she wasn’t frozen in time like female vampires). Which, following the logic, means she can have children the way a human woman can (probably with a twist).
