Nick is needy. I have no doubt being a grimm made him feel that he was extraordinary, a step above the generic cop.
Second, Rosalee and Monroe. They're not going to hang around with him because the allure that drew them to him is gone. So there would be no more scoobies. Third, whatever perks he got from Renard would disappear. Renard no longer has his own grimm on the force, so why would Nick get special treatment? He's just another flatfoot. Fourth, the respect from some of the wesen (like Bud) would evaporate. After all, there's no grimm around to protect them. Fifth, would Hank really want to be his partner? Would Wu really want to associate with him?
Now consider what Nick gains if he remained human; Juliette. That's it, nothing more. Nick is left to seek a normal life in another city because what he had in Portland would be dead.
Hank and Wu had known and worked with Nick long before they were aware of him being a Grimm. Rosalee and Monroe became close friends with Nick - despite him being a Grimm and they Wesen. They had all been there for each other. When Nick lost his powers, and talked about living a normal life with Juliette, their where no indication that any of these friendships would suffer. The same goes for Bud and Trubel. Your theory that Nick would lose his friends if he did not become a Grimm again, couldn’t be further from the storyline. However, the show would be canceled after only 4 seasons.

Honest? You mean when she told Renard but not Nick?

Juliette was not the good one at this stage. Nick suffered the most. He lost his mom, his girlfriend, the trailer, almost got Monroe and his unborn son killed. Nick did not know Juliette would become a hex. Sure, he needed some time to process the shock, just like Juliette walked out of the trailer and said Nick was crazy when he told her about being a Grimm. Nick tried to help her. He tried to accept her. She did not give him a change. Instead she threatened him, moved out and conspired with his worst enemies

Nick was needy? Nick was a sociopath? Nick fought against monsters no one else could see. Nick wanted to tell Juliette from an early stage, but Monroe warned him that the human brain could not process that kind of information. He tried to figure out how to tell Juliette without her thinking he was crazy and leaving (which was exactly how she reacted….). This is a standard element in most superhero shows, and doesn't mean the hero is a sociopath… Nick did what he thought was best for Juliette.
