His "social currency or whatever" means that he has influence over others. And if he pulls in another direction than you're going, then it's going to muck things up. Which the film showed. I would think a good military leader would want to mitigate that risk.

There are many points where Holdo could have done so, or could have chosen alternate strageties like brig, but did not do so, because it would not have worked for the plot. The writing is the reason why she doesn't respond in a real-life way, but within universe, I can't really explain why she fails to defuse the situation at any point.

Sorry, but social currency doesn't balance out insubordination to me. Sometimes the most popular people are terrible and shouldn't be trusted (a lot of the time actually). And he was insubordinate from the beginning of the movie. He was insubordinate to Leia of all people. Thus, he was demoted. Thus, he was not trusted with sensitive information. Makes perfect sense to me.

Nah, still makes you a shit commander if you're not capable of reading the atmosphere where withholding crucial information from people in a potentially lethal situation may lead to a mutiny. Especially since the kind of "Just follow your orders and never question authority" is the stick of the guys you fight against.
