Because what they are trying to imply is that Rose was somehow silly, naive and unable to assert herself as a companion and that this somehow makes her not a good match with the doctor.

But... the reason we don't get scenes like that with Rose is because he treats her very, very well so there is literally no need for her to do all that. First of all, it's not like Rose never stands up to the doctor, she does. It's just that she has never needed to be agressive towards him for him to respect and listen to her. He has always made her his top priority.

You can love his dynamic with other companions but this remains a fact. He has never played mind games with her, he doesnt ignore her and when they do argue he resolves it quickly.

I love Clara (and yes, I ship whouffaldi) but he would never put Rose through what he put Clara on that one moon episode.

He burned up a son to say goodbye to Rose and meanwhile completly ignored Rivers consciousness after uploading her to the library.

If they didnt get separated the doctor would stay with her till she died of old age. It would hurt. But he'd do it. He even said he would never leave her like he did with his other companions... with no hesitation at that.

Shoutout to this underrated Ninerose moment. It shows how in tune they are on their FIFTH adventure (EU included- according to TARDIS wiki). Because Rose does have abandonment trauma with the way Jimmy Stone treated her. And Nine is just so totally in tune with it, he gives her a TARDIS key THIS early. And without hesitation! He says it’s about time she had one!

According to my count snooping through the TARDIS wiki, it was often taking up to 49 adventures for the Doctor would give a pre Rose companion a key. The average was 23! The total average ended up being similar at 21.1. So, it’s just absolutely insane in the most beautiful way that Nine gives her this key the second Rose is anxious about him leaving.
