Negotiations are a transaction cost. If your services are a commodity, or if you make too bold an ask, the other side may prefer not to waste time.

If this is ethical this hinges on what they asked for.

Ironically she did not make any ask. Basically she laid out the facts about her current comp and a competing offer, but stated that she liked this company more, so she would like to see if they could work together on this or if there's room for negotiation.

That sounds like "I want to negotiate but don't know what I want". Could come across as a potential time suck.
