For what it's worth, I think I would have preferred Holdo just using her ship to shield the escaping pods (once the pods are discovered) instead of the light-speed bomb. She goes out just as heroically and I don't have to ponder questions like this above.
But honestly, you can do this in just about every damn movie made, and certainly with star wars. Why didn't vadar just force grab the dude (Kylo-style and Snoke-style) trying to get rid of the death star plans in Rogue One and drag him down the hall?
If you can turn on someone else's lightsaber from across the room, do you think these guys would all be carrying them on their waist as they are dangling down around the family jewels?
At some point, you just need to suspend your disbelief and remind yourself that you are watching a space opera western, not the history channel.
