Yes. It is writer's prerogative. Like you pointed out, they know the characters more intimately can we can ever know them. They know exactly what each character is feeling and thinking when the character is speaking or doing something. They know each character's complete past, motivation and desire best. Unfortunately, due to their format and style of writing, we never got to know the characters as intimately as we would have liked. Especially since most of us got to care about the characters and their stories. We did not find out much during character plots, we only got snippets. Plots often played out quickly and details got chopped off. However, they did clue us in as best as they could based how their storytelling style. I think they told their story the best way they could based on their ideas, desires, format, budget, etc.

It could very well be that she did go clinically insane. Maybe that's even what the writers were going for. However, the knowledge of that doesn't undo the events that took place during that period. The hurt and pain that they both went through doesn't get erased because she recognized afterwards that she did went bat shit crazy. I think the writer's clued us to what was happening at the time when Kenneth made the comment about Juliette 'burning bridges'.
After all that had happened between Juliette and Nick, there was definitely no going back to that relationship. Plus, Nick wanted Juliette but with the grimm life, while Juliette wanted Nick but with a normal life. They didn't want the same kind of relationship even though they had both been trying really hard to make it work. I think they both recognized their mistakes later on. By the end of the show, we see she's moving on with her new life/persona and embracing the her biest differently. However, if the writers had written and ended the story differently, that's where my argument would be going.

True. That's why I always like to point out that they all have blood on their hands.
