I think it may come down to how hot the war is between the French and the Dutch - from how V1 describes it the Dutch are actively fighting the French using guerrilla raids and other ways to hit them back - given that having their remaining Navy stay in Dutch ports will expose them to French attacks - and they only have so many SAM's to go around
whereas having them go to Portsmouth puts them out of danger from French air attacks
