OTOH, it added credibility to the idea that the general public was largely in the dark, by implying a global conspiracy of world government cover ups, as opposed to a just wesen council and some ragtag groups of grimms and their friends being the ones keeping the secret.
I prefer this actually, let the governments (or a few higher ups) be aware of the existence of wesen and secretly run things between them and humans while the general human public remains largely oblivious due to wanting to keep the world from descending into pandemonium with fear and prejudice that has historically lead to genocide in certain countries. It gives Grimms jurisdiction to do what they do but police even their actions so they don't shoot first and ask questions after. Create a functioning ecosystem of the three (wesen, humans, Grimms), four if you add the Royals with their unique physiology and historical power as well into the mix.
