Viserys wasn't ready to make the hard decisions, and that's why he was a bad king.
The Big Picture “Will I be remembered as a good king?” asked a sickly Viserys Targaryen to his hand, Lord Lyonel Strong . On his deathbed, Viserys showed grave concerns about the heritage he’d leave behind and the manner in which history would remember him. This was an interesting departure for his character, who in the books wasn’t too worried about legacy, and was mostly content wallowing in feasts and tourneys.
These are little hints, but they paint a vivid enough picture to suggest that the social climate of Westeros would just not accept a female ruler. Viserys witnessed all of this, and he had his chance to right his wrongs, by either naming Aegon the new heir or by marrying Rhaenyra to Aegon, but he remained silent and watched those opportunities pass by.
For the most part, Rhaenyra was left to her own devices. Viserys' only concern towards his daughter was getting her married as soon as possible, even though Rhaenyra made it clear that she wasn't ready for it. But even in that regard, Viserys was too eager to make a thoughtful decision. Eventually, Rheneyra had to succumb to her father's will and enter a relationship of compromise with a gay man.
