Sure, Will Riker could have beamed Yuta off the ship..... but .... this is a message about the insanity of vengeance.
Yuta's so blinded by her vengeance that she is willingly to sabotage a mission of peace to achieve her goals.
I've never lost anyone due to a domestic conflict but I know who I am; not certain if I would be able to restrain myself from thoughts or vengeance.
The show portrays 'The Gatherer's' as a bunch of knucklehead 18 year olds wearing beer hats and bro-punching one another. I would have far more sympathy for the plight of 'The Gatherer's' if they had some redeemable or positive qualities. Is it mentioned that the world become peaceful when The Gatherer's left? Why does Picard think that the introduction of them back into the society will be good? How about establishing that The Gatherer's were a progressive faction that left and become warped and twisted by the reality of scarcity in space and then we have the discussion about them returning home to a peace process they could have initiated before being banished?
I guess I am doing a fanfiction re-write on this episode due to the fact that I got the message but it could have been constructed better for impact.
The show establishes Yuta as a servent (or slave) but this doesn't go anywhere or get further explained in this political episode --- It just kills the sexual chemistry between Yuta/Riker and that's it. Seemed like a missed opportunity.
