JN_R decided to go with her both to help Ruby and avenge Pyrrha. They got involved in Ozma's war with Salem when Tyrian attacked them in his quest to kidnap Ruby, leading to Qrow saving them, and them wanting to know just what was going on. They were filled in, and while they had reservations at first, they stuck with Ruby and Qrow and went to Mistral, then chose to keep fighting when Ozma told them they were free to leave.

They're still here because they were forced into this conflict, and they wouldn't feel right just sitting out. It helps that they still do want to avenge Pyrrha, and just because she isn't constantly referenced doesn't mean she is forgotten. Sad thing is, people use the talk Qrow had with Ruby as "evidence" that he was manipulating her into going to Haven and justifying Jaune's claim that Qrow was using her as bait.
