I don't recall that any other characters codemn her for being concerned with her daughters' marriage prospects. Darcy dislikes her inappropriate behavior and her vulgarity and he is repulsed by the way she speaks of Jane and Bingley's prospective marriage, the Bingley sisters are also horrified by her manners and resent her efforts to "catch" Bingley, and Elizabeth is embarassed and humiliated by the vulgar way she throws Jane at Bingley and angry with her for pressuring her to marry Mr.Collins. But no one, at least explicitly, blames her for promoting the match between Jane and Bingley or being accomodating to Mr.Collins, neither does anyone say that she is wrong to want to marry her daughters off. It is the way she goes about it that offends everybody's sense of propriety.
