It's because Nemona slowly grows closer to you over the course of the story and has some depth to her character. Honestly, I found her pretty annoying at first, but she grew on me. Later you learn that she is socially really incompetent and can't read the room to safe her life, which is a charming flaw.
And then in a postgame event, she reveals how her talent in Pokémon battling resulted in loneliness, cause suddenly she was way better than anyone else and nobody could relate to her and refused to battle her. That's why she clung to her so much, she saw your talent and you just moved to Paldea, so you couldn't have known about her bad reputation at the academy. She just really wanted a friend who could also be on her level when it came to battling.
I can tell you never played SV because if you did, you'd understand. The writing is on a completely different level compared to previous games, and it makes all the difference to how appealing a character is.
