I feel it's self defeating to hold something/particular arc against the show when that's been the case across the board. It tends to make arguing against particular actions in one season vs a previous season moot because you must argue against the entirety of the show. You may as well pick apart everything that happened to come up with a different end result...
...I understand your disappointment in Adalind's journey on the show, I probably could have felt the same if everything was as frustratingly one sided as I feel your argument is against her relationship with Nick. It's not just about Adalind and what she's been through to end up where she did, but also about those men and what they did to find themselves where they did.
For me, the Nick/Adalind debate has never been about Adalind’s could-be relationship with someone else or comparing Adalind’s life with Nick to a possible different life with someone else. Any mention of Meisner or Renard was only because Adalind had interactions and working/personal relationships with them, and both had a connection with Adalind’s missing daughter.
My argument has always been about Adalind’s characterization and journey eventually leading to Nick/Adalind vs. a contrived Nick/Adalind endgame.
And while I think you’re absolutely right concerning the creative team’s tendency for shallow contrivance and disinterest in writing for the characters, there wouldn’t really be a need to debate any aspect of the characters and their journeys if that was the go-to resolution for conflicting points of view.
