I think the problem is that you're assuming she was "staying" a bandit.

Raven and Qrow had a fucked up childhood, but the difference between the 2 of them is that Raven seems to have been wanted. This means that when she looked back and thought about going back, it seemed like an option to her, but not to Qrow.

As much as she denies it, she CHOSE a life with Tai and her team... but something changed that, made that choice seem unsafe. Now when you consider what options that leaves her with, she could have skulked away alone and afraid, but that wouldn't make her feel any safer. Life as a bandit queen may seem dangerous, but at the end of the day that's still bodies between her and Salem, people to talk to... and a way to convince herself she's living her best life, accomplishing what she set out to do.
