Of course "she can't choose" to unlock it but, as we know Sasuke unlocked it during the battle with Haku, it was a perfect moment for him to unlock it because he really needed it because of Haku's speed.

But Sarada unlocked it after one emotional moment, I know it's very special for her to meet her dad. But still, kinda disappointing in my opinion, I'd rather have seen her unlock it in battle. Sharingan is unlocked when an Uchiha suffers an emotional trauma, not when they "need" it. thats actually not true.

aquisition of the sharingan: When a wielder of this kekkei genkai experiences a powerful emotional condition with regards to a person precious to them, their brain releases a special form of chakra that affects the optic nerves, transforming the eyes into Sharingan; for that reason the Sharingan is described as an "eye that reflects the heart". Often, as per the Uchiha's so-called "Curse of Hatred", this emotion is a negative one, brought on by stress or loss. The emotion can also be positive, driven by a desire to protect(obito).or reunite with a loved one.(sarada)

so in the end, it isn't just unlocked from emotional trauma. its simply unlocked when an uchiha feels an strong emotion toward another person this can be possitive or negative
