The thing is, Jayce doesn't entirely disagree. He suspects all of the factions could have safeguards to control or stop the Summoned if need be. It would be incredibly reckless to allow them all to just go walking around, especially those with powers, without a failsafe. "I think he has accounted for it privately, but he's not going to say so in front of a crowd like this. This meeting was about making people feel supported and connected, not making them afraid. If conflict comes, this will lead to a more realistic conversation."
Jayce feels confident in this assumption because it's exactly what he would have done. Clearly his mind is already to that worst-case scenario, but he's not likely to tell everyone to beware or freak them out. Inspiration gains trust and then helps people listen when it matters. It's a certain type of leadership. Jayce is just glad someone else with that style is around, he really wants to just make things with Viktor in a lab, not be the center of anything.
As for the other part, Jayce listens to him with understanding, he knows what it means. Jayce is the right person to talk to, in terms of getting it directly and honestly. "I've talked to you about how we worked for the Council immediately after proving the Hextech theory. Our whole professional lives, we've worked for other people and their goals." The Academy, the Council, the government, and then Goro. "I'm sure with your independent nature you can understand why it's important for us to take advantage of a fresh start here and start our own company, beholden to no one else."
Jayce has already told Viktor the intention to split away and restart, and they've been saving money in preparation for it, but he sees no reason to pretend in the face of a genuine question. Everything he's saying is true. "I assure you it is not personal, we've never had the freedom to put our interests and inventions first until now. We'll still be open to accepting partnerships with good ideas from anyone else." Meaning it is possible he could bring them something that they'd agree with working on, but they would have the freedom to choose, and that is essential.
"We will be acquiring space of our own for that new start, it would be rude to still use yours under this new umbrella. I hope you understand where I'm coming from here." The thing about Jayce is that he's honest and it's very clear when he's lying. Everything he's saying now is the complete truth. It's a diplomatic truth, but it's the truth.
