It is indeed rational - as was their decision to immediately back down once Bandana and Roy agreed on a reasonable price for their services. If she had instead demanded 2 million gold for each pirate, or selling Haley into slavery for the crew, that would have been an entirely different conversation.

You'll note too that the one person who didn't consider the exchange reasonable - Andi - did end up being an antagonist, at least for a time.
I wouldn't say they backed down as much as they got what they wanted, with was payment for their services. They had no reason to be unreasonable it, but they still were not moving until they you paid.

Andy did object, but I would argue that's not because she disagreed with Bandanna's leadership generally and made up an excuse rather than actually believing the argument she made, and regardless, she was overruled there.
