It makes Grace and Ben reconnecting and the many episodes spent on that story pointless. Killing Grace after everything the Stone family has faced undermines how important it was that they find a way to make it through everything together. Additionally, why did we watch Grace connect with a long-forgotten side of herself, mourn her brother’s death (that was, ultimately, unnecessary), and plan a future just for it to be cut short in the most unsatisfactory way? Her death means that Ben, who spent countless nights looking for connections and clues, missed out on spending so many moments with the love of his life to protect people who don’t/didn’t care to even save themselves. Grace dying detracts from everything the Stone family has done to make sure, at the end of all of this, they would be together and live happily ever after. Why introduce and kill Grace's brother, giving her a life-altering situation to deal with, and kill her mere episodes later? To put it frankly, what was the point? Why did we spend so much time watching Ben and Grace reconnect and find their spark again? Those who weren’t on board at first had their minds changed by Grace’s story over Season 2, which required quite a bit of effort on the writers’ behalf with how unlikeable Grace could be in Season 1.
