Because people have this thing were happy optimistic characters can only gain development by breaking down emotionally and becoming cynical assholes.

The thing is Ruby doesn't necessarily have to snap to achieve that. She has snapped in the past she's just never been reduced to a sobbing mess. What Ruby really needs is to learn to ask for help when she's hurting rather than push it away and always offer her help to others. That would be better character development.
