The Jedi order didn’t want Jedis to have any attachments. They probably would have try to block Anakin reuniting with his mother, or expell him from the order if that happened.
Qui Gon, as he was close to almost rebelling against the order, was probably the only one who understood that the kid needed his mother and that there wasn’t nothing bab about that.
Maybe that’s why the Emperor send Maul to kill Qui Gon, he needed Anakin oppressed by the order so he can turn to the dark side.

This is actually why the song for the fight is called Duel of the Fates, because its outcome actually decides Anakin’s ultimate fate in falling to the dark side due to Qui-Gon’s death occurring in it. Had it ended differently, Anakin would have been trained by Qui-Gon Jinn, and likely found himself confiding in Qui-Gon instead of Sidious.
“Okay you can join the Jedi order, but you can only have one sketchy garage full of your stuff locked in there. One! And no moving in a bed and bringing family members to live in there, kapeesh? Skywalker I’m looking at you!”

Qui Gon wasn’t in rebellion against the Jedi. Just the opposite, he was all the way into the Kool aid, chasing fantastic prophecies about Jedi Messiah.
His final wish wasn’t to see Anakin grow up with his mom, but to see Balance Return to The Force (a problem that’s never properly illustrated in the movies, just mentioned as a philosophical hang up).
Maybe that’s why the Emperor send Maul to kill Qui Gon, he needed Anakin oppressed by the order so he can turn to the dark side.
Maul wasn’t sent to kill Qui Gon specifically, just to eliminate the Jedi interfering with the plot to spark civil war.
Anakin was one more useful idiot for Palatine to exploit. Only useful until he couldn’t kill that last lingering Jedi.

In both scenarios Obiwan is considered a pretty shite mentor. Seems apt.
The Jedi do seem to have a huge attachment to no attachments. There’s got to be a middle way, right?
Hence the grey Jedi in legends.
