It was important to the writers that she regain her Hexenbeist powers at the end, so I believe their thinking was along these lines. It was a way of pointing out that Eve liked who she was now, and didn't want to go back. And who she had become, was a fighter. Not the suburban girlfriend and friendly neighborhood vet she left behind.
My suggestion would give her an income and allow her still to do all the things that you suggested too.
Women characters do not have to be having sex with the lead to be important to the story.

It's nice that she's moved on, isn't it? I wonder if the relatives of the neighbors who were slaughtered by the Verrat back in 2015 have done the same.

No one ever said Eve doesn't carry the guilt of the things that happened. Those events were tragic, but it's part of the reason why Hadrian's Wall took Juliette and reconditioned her into Eve. Her penance was as a soldier against encroaching dark forces. That penance will continue on as she supports team Grimm in it's struggle. What else can she do. Her intent was purpose over happiness and the foundation of that is the guilt she feels. The case is closed, I imagine, with the government likely shaping the narrative to obfuscate the Wesen element. And most of those Verratt are dead anyway. And how would her being in jail help anyone? She's got much more work to do on the outside.
