I think the bigger issue is that if the Grimm are just a force of nature it is easier to see a normal life and the potential for building a better world. To learn that it is in fact under the control of a single person who has been controlling them the whole time makes it an ongoing war with a hostile army, that they happen to have been losing quite badly. Plus, there is also the risk that people knowing about Salem might grow her rather fledgling following. Another risk is that some may think it is possible to try and negotiate with her when the truth is she has no desire to talk things out. Even trying to pursue diplomacy risks her taking advantage of the situation.
