Mercury and Emerald were distracted, had no time to think about their reaction to Yang's sudden move; they were caught completely off-guard and acted reflexively. By the time they'd gathered their wits, Yang had reached the lift and Weiss was blocking access to her with ice.

Further more, the entry is assuming that using the chain would automatically have stopped Yang. That's not a guarantee.

Mercury and Emerald were as distracted as everyone else, had no time to react to Yang's sudden move, and were caught completely off-guard. It's clear in the scene that their reactions are reflexive. By the time they'd gathered their wits, Yang had reached the lift and Weiss was blocking access to her with ice.

This looks like trope misuse to me. Mercury and Emerald were as distracted as everyone else, so when Yang suddenly made her move, they were caught completely off-guard and made a reflexive grab for her. Both of them had weapons and ammunition, the same argument could be made for why didn't they just shoot her instead? The answer is very obvious in the scene: they were caught completely off-guard, acted reflexively and by the time they had the wits to act properly, Yang had already made it to the lift and Weiss was blocking access to her with ice.

The trope is for people who clearly make stupid decisions, not for people who make a mistake during the heat of the moment.
