Because Summer always acts in balance and what Winter did staying around to revive Harry cries of imbalance.

It doesn't do every single action. That's never been the case.
And why would Summer do that when it already has a balance to Harry -- the Summer Knight.
Why revive a flunky whose one trick (recruiting pixies) was A. stolen from Harry, B. less than ineffective (Harry recruited his biggest enforcer on the pixie squad) and C. was done in the service of folks trying to end reality?

Empirically prove that? Cause acting in direct relation seems to be the queens thing. And that's not just some action, Winter during Summer.

Because the SK has proven to be weak and friendly with the WK? Because his job is to be a balance to the WK?

Bomb's, current knowledge compared to old fae, knowing precisely where to ambush Harry with that bat, ect. Even Harry admits he gave him a run for his money.

I don't have to because it's obvious from the books that it doesn't happen that way.
What you're suggesting is that, for example, to mirror picking Harry as Winter Knight, Titania would go out and get a wizard for her Summer Knight, which she didn't do.
They act when the other acts. That has never meant they do the exact same things.
That's not even to mention that Lake Michigan freezing in the winter is not Summer's domain. It's Mab's, which is how she explains she grabs Harry.

So you pick a weaker guy that has no incentive to work for you, was actively working with the people trying to end the world, and who's already gotten his ass kicked by the Winter Knight he's supposed to mirror?

And yet, Harry blows him away with a gun, and it's basically an afterthought at that point.
Look, he's just not some great adversary for Harry. He's a flunky of the real villain -- hell, a flunky of a flunky of the real villain -- whose demise is an afterthought at best.
He served his purpose (and failed at that), got shot, and fell into the waters of someplace that's explicitly not Summer's domain.
He's dead, Jim.

I agree. Ace is a tragic guy, for sure, but the amount of energy Mab wasted on saving Harry doesn't mean Titania will play that same card. While she hates Harry, Mab using so much power to save him means that much less energy Mab has to use for a given time. If an enemy nations wants to devote that level of resources to saving a person and disruption isn't possible, then the wise answer would be to wait and see if things come out good for the person who nearly died.
If he survives and Mab used that much to save him, maiming Harry again could make her waste more energy. Or it could make Mab kill Harry. Or Harry dies from his injuries regardless of Mab's actions. That is a win-win-win for Titania.
