The big hole in her idea is that she wants to do that for herself and doesn't really ask the rest of the living things in the universe if they want that. It doesn't matter because she wants it.
I think I need to do some self-crit because I was onboard with Kreia's idea to kill the force...
Does it make sense to give a choice to a population of people who don't have free will? The Force can't control individuals, but it controls populations. It can use propaganda to defend itself. Kreia simply sees the force as a state.
The same reason a 15 year old girl's parents get to decide that she's not allowed to pursue a romantic relationship with her pedophile teacher: compromised consent
Unshackling billions from the control of an entity with mysterious but demonstrably harmful motives isn't the same as taking billions for a ride. The Mandalorian War was the will of the force. Krei is of the opinion that another disaster like that is bound to happen, and if she doesn't do everything in her power to kill the force, then the casualties are her fault.
Kreia had proof that people could survive without the Force. The Exile isn't a force user. I also don't believe her ideal of destroying the Force is synonymous with her methods. The Dark Side of the Force corrupted her from her ideals because that's what the dark side does. That's kind of the tragic irony of her character. She could never really escape the force. She could identify the problem, but unlike the Exile, she was incapable of enacting the solution upon herself. It's a cool story.

Actually, there was evidence. The Exile cut themself off from the force.
