She literally said last season, "I don't want to be the queen of ashes."

She was quoting Tyrion (I think; it was one of her advisers), signaling that she was going to do things his way--but she secretly wanted to destroy King's Landing all along. She wanted revenge--did nobody notice the parallel between Dany and The Hound? Literally, The Hound didn't have to fight the Mountain. As he said about Cersei, the flames would take care of it, or the dragon, etc. etc.

But Sandor had to kill Gregor himself. It was about the vengeance.

Dany has lost much, and most of it was because of King's Landing and the people who lived there--especially the keep. Cersei betrayed trust and refused to help fight the Night King, which cost Jorah and a huge amount of Dany's loyal followers/soldiers their lives. She lost her dragon, she lost Missandei, she lost Jorah, she lost her brothers, she lost her father, and seeing the Red Keep standing triumphantly triggered her deepest sense of vengeance.

She said "fuck this, I'm the queen; if people don't love me, they'll fear me" and off she went.
