The simplicity and lack of negotiation, when compared to all the hoops Shepard is jumping through at the time, is hilarious in contrast. You want the full resources of Omega Station? Done, just as soon as Aria has them to give. You want a mercenary army? Aria's drawn up the contracts, all you have to do is talk to the leaders.
She's taking the initiative and giving you all the resources she can get her hands on, no strings attached, to do with as you will, and you don't have to pick up her laundry or do her any favors to earn it. On a meta level-the fact that Aria is the first quest-giver in the entire damn series to lay out, frankly and logically, that if Shepard fails everyone dies-therefore, there's no point horse-trading when Shepard's success is in everyone's best interests.
