the initial mission on that other planet is to extract their spy. When 'Veers' gets captured by the Skrulls in the process, the Kree's primary mission becomes recovering her, or neutralizing her if they can't get her back on their side. Plus eliminating Skrull agents whenever they encounter any, to prevent them from infiltrating and taking over more planets that could be used against the Kree.

Or if they wanted to use her energy as a weapon, what is the Watsonian reason for keeping it restrained with a chip and constantly trying to teach Carol self-mastery (the Doylist reason obviously being their allegory about people trying to suppress women)?
Evidently they did want to use her energy as a weapon, but since they had no way of knowing what precisely she'd be able to do with it, a cautious and slow approach to testing the weapon seems smart. I'm not sure the exact purpose of the chip was made very clear at any point, though, or if so I missed it.
So now that other people have seen Captain Marvel, am I wrong about a major plot hole?

Not until they got there and found out it existed: the Kree didn't know that's what she used

This is why I never never liked the whole galatic power thing Marvel did

I think the writing was worse than that, even

Most MCU spaceships use a jump point FTL drive. They were trying to make one that could go anywhere.

Did they say that in the movie or is that speculation by you?

More just a simple deduction. We've seen MCU FTL multiple times, and...
