Luke's biggest fear was falling to the dark side. So as a trainer of Jedi his fear is losing his students to the dark side. And in classic Star Wars poetry the actions Luke takes to prevent his conversion to the Dark Side leads to his conversion to the dark side.
That sequence was the classic path to the dark side.

In Episode 6, Luke believed so much that there was good in his father, even while being tortured by the Emperor, but still never had any intention of killing him. He wanted to save him, despite all the bad he had done. He felt he was redeemable.
Luke senses darkness in his sister's son, and for a moment thinks that the right thing to do is to kill him?
We already went through this character arc with Luke, and it's not in his character to do something like that, and it confirmed Ben Solo's transition to the dark side.
Just seems weird to me but I guess that's just what this movie is.
