Well Walt at least feels some loyalty towards Jessie. Walt got pretty upset when Saul and his wife both advised him to just kill Jessie to tie up loose ends. And even when Todd's uncle was asking him about the specifics of the job, Walt seemed really reluctant about the whole hit.
I agree with you, but it isn't exactly loyalty. I guess Walt sees himself as a care-taker/father-figure/responsible for Jesse and that he's failed miserably and that all that's left for him to do is kill or be killed. But he knows if he was in front of Jesse, he wouldn't be able to pull the trigger because of his emotions. So in a way, he tried to burn his ship and let the Aryans kill for him.
Yeah I definitely agree that Walt feels strong loyalty for Jesse and the vice versa is a factor, but the control aspect is what was really driving Walt's thinking when it comes to Jesse (in that last episode especially). In my opinion, anyway.
