She wanted to utilize his Grimm abilities but didn’t feel any concern for him as a man or a Grimm. That attitude didn’t fit within the show’s streamlined use of the characters. The ‘good guy’ characters were loyal to Nick, period, and the show quickly transitioned Eve into expressing affection for Nick and caring about his personal woes. I don’t recall a character - good, bad, recurring, or episode specific - who remained indifferent to Nick.
Juliette also got Nick's mother decapitated, in addition to a couple of unnamed neighbors the writers assumed we'd conveniently forget about. You don't get to be "indifferent" towards the man you wronged on such a spectacular level, lady.
You'll notice that Eve mostly kept up her air of indifference until the end of S5, when the stick did something funky to her (G&K never bothered to clarify exactly what). Some aspects of Juliette returned to Eve, but she never stopped calling herself Eve, even though she was practically Juliette for all intents and purposes by the end of the series. G&K never had Eve declare outright that she was Juliette again because doing so would basically be an indirect confession that Eve was an all-around failure as a character.
