That does make sone sense, yeah. I'm confused, because Saru is otherwise depicted as very empathetic, it's even pointed out verbally, but this situation was different and it came so early on that it was hard for me to believe his empathy for a while afterwards, so I'm not very sure what the writers wanted me to think.
I think it was also a desperate situation. Lorca was in immediate danger and I am guessing Saru would, even with his empathy, have reasoned that a sentient being's life, especially someone as important as Lorca, was more important. He also let the tardigrade go back to its home in the mycelial network after the emergency was over and it would have died on either the Glenn or the Discovery if that hadn't happened.
