TV ratings are less about the number of viewers a series has than about its rank compared to other seres. Because that's what determines how much a network can price commercial time. Grimm was consistently ranked second or third in every time slot it aired in. It premiered at #89, peaked at #52 in S03, dropped to #65 in S04 and spent the rest of its run languishing in the 70s.
If I were to pick the plot turn that sent the ratings on their downward slide, it would be having the main character of Grimm suddenly not be a Grimm for nearly a third of S04. There's a reason why stories in which superheroes lose their powers almost never run more than one episode.
