Aoi is designed for people to want to rescue her. Aoi couldn't take on that kind of protagonist's role.

That's a pretty defeatist way of looking at it. I'm not going to sing the praises of being a knight, but sitting back and doing nothing's not a great alternative either.

Aoi doesn't do nothing. Aoi does love interest and side character things.

Like create reasons for the protagonist to want to spend time with Aoi, or drive other characters to spend time together.

I don't think so.

Better you're the one with as much control as you can get than someone else, right?

Aoi only wants enough to control to make sure the players are happy.
You seem more interested in control than Aoi.

Think of it this way: if I'm in control, I can keep more people happy.

... Well, that's a nice sentiment. You should be more critical of people willing to do anything though.
