Humans, however, are smarter, more sentient, and thus can look beyond the superficial. Plus we are selfish. So even a Nice Guy can be backstabbed.

Now, what happens if the Grimm become as smart as us? They can think for themselves then. And have less reason to follow Salem and remain loyal.

We don't know exactly what Salem uses for the Grimm to listen to her. For all we know they just do because she's the only Grimm with brain.
