the book was very clear that she had the powers *because* she was so understimulated and miserable.

No, I understand that, I just disagree with the book's outlook on the whole thing. Regardless of why she develops them, they are their own thing. They have value, and an effect on her self-identity, that is entirely unique to what the are. So to lose them is to lose that value and that part of her self-identity. The fact that she's no longer lacking the things that caused her to develop them in the first place doesn't negate that losing them is, well, a loss.

Another anon clued me in that in the books her powers are exhausting for her and that she doesn't really have fun with them the way she does in the movie, which really changes the entire dynamic, and in light of that, the book's ending works a lot better for me.
