If Jim had desired to bring that topic up, Pike would have agreed with him. "You are a far more trusting person then I am. Considering that in one fell swoop the young captain would have been made captain, had a reason to destroy his enemy, and removed or crippled many of the strangers he has on board his ship, I simply can't think that he might have other intentions."
It was quite true. The true captain would have been dead, along with Jim and his Spock, along with his bond mate which would have left him for dead or crippled as they, unfortunately, knew. Many strangers on board seemed to be followers of Jim as Captain, and the rest would have been so angry at Nero's actions that they would have allowed Spock to do what he wished as long as he was intelligent about it.
