There is no question the NUN wish to gain control of any place where Protoculture Artifacts & Fold Quartz are found, and that Windermere provided just such venue. The Windermerians for their part, probably didn't know what most of the monuments and artifacts on their planet actually do in addition to their pre-modern statis, and thus might have contributed to the initial underestimation of them by the NUN.

As I said before, it's fine and dandy if you employ it as a war strategy, but it's a strategy so vile that if you failed, which is the case for Windermere, you'd better be prepared for the consequences.
Ironically, the only thing standing between Windermere and a swarm of angry neighbors with torches & pitchforks is the NUNs. So for those who wish NUNs to be out of the picture might just want to think twice, because the conclusion would be,
gg Windermere.

Just to elaborate on what Matts said, the galaxy is still a dangerous place. The 4 ~ 5 million strong Zentradi fleet was just one of
thousands that graced the Solar System, and humanity only destroyed/pacificed about a million with the rest unaccounted for. The other massive fleets are presumably still fighting an endless war against an equally sizable Supervision Army, and dealing with such delicate situation incorrectly would lead to potential extinction of humanity.
The Windermerians for their part, have no understanding of this. They've never experienced a galactic catastrophe, or even a Zentradi invasion, and if they did, the Zentradi would have wiped them out without a second-thought due to the Windermerians' primitivity. The NUNs offered them survival, and although it could be argued that certain NUN officials are corrupt and possess ulterior motives, they still have no desire to see Windermere extinct.
