It's been a long time since I watched Voyager properly, in fact it was probably the original run so when that ended I was still in my teens. But the way I remember it is that they got to a point where they clearly didn't know what else to do with her so just wrote her out using convenient established character points. And yeah, that always sucks. I suspect the short-life span for her species probably hampered them too.

Another comment touches on the actress wanting out and I find it interesting Kes got some super-elaborate send off whereas in TNG Yar is killed in a pretty anti-climactic way by what my younger self deemed a bin-bag monster. Not strictly comparing the two. But I do wonder if the decisions with Kes were influenced by the backlash to that. Hmm.

I figure with Yar since it was still the first season of TNG - and while Star Trek was established as franchise by then, it was far from certain that bringing Trek back as live-action TV with new characters was going to be successful in the long run - they probably weren't worried about making it a big thing.
