Me too, but that's why I'm not a politician with a legion of advisers :)

I get that she didn't want to bad-mouth Joe or accidentally criticise her own record as VP in the process.

I think the cannabis one might have made some difference - it's clear that the US is ready for it, she could have declared she wanted to hand the power to the states to make their own decisions by legalising it at a federal level, that sort of thing. Hard to tell even in hindsight!
