My somewhat-speculative theory is that Salem is a Well-Intentioned Extremist. I suspect that she started on this path, a long time ago, to permanently eliminate the threat of the Creatures of Grimm to human civilisation. The problem is that then Salem doing things that make her "more Grimm than human", and later on fighting on the same side as the Grimm, make no sense. Because, for starters, she would have decided the former before she became "insane".

Arthas at least had the excuse of Frostmourne to justify it.
