Checks and balances while also taking into account that nobody shard-bearing has so far actively worked against the Inquisition.
Malcolm, as a paranoid Seeker, doesn't like the idea of rifters, though due to the Herald he doesn't mind shards. He thinks, like mages and templars, keeping an eye on things, having people to especially eyeball shard-bearing mages, is totally in line with shit that they (and the mage council and the templar order) already do on a smaller scale. He thinks there's a potential for things going awry. And no, Galadriel, suggesting you'll do whatever you want including opening rifts all willy and nilly does not help. Suggesting everyone must have freedom at all times is a nice ideal, Leliana, but it's too idealistic when it involves people and powers beyond current understanding.
That said, a good number of rifters have either sworn loyalty or have done enough for the Inquisition to be in good graces. Others are quiet and don't actively wreck their shit. And the rest of the shard-bearers (of which Sina is) are their own kin and countrymen. They're all also the only known way of closing rifts. And rifters in particular have no ties to these lands, social statuses, politics, and events unfolding, nor should they be forced to care about something they don't understand or otherwise know nothing about.
There has got to be a compromise here, some kind of grey middle ground.
Team Moderate
