Because the main plot with 7 of 9 is good, but the secondary one with Kes is kind of ridiculous.
Janeway makes another controversial, if not downright unethical decision, by forcibly unborging the Borg prisoner against her...their wishes. Disagree as one may with the captain, it makes for an interesting story, helped by Jeri Ryan's fine performance as a confused ex-Borg.
Meanwhile, Kes has to leave the show, but that does not mean it has to happen through some Buddhist-like ascension. A couple of episodes of build up do not justify this sudden "fabulous secret powers were revealed to me" moment. Sure, she had met other Ocampans who had extensive telekinetic and telepathic powers, but since they had not become Jedi Force ghosts, why should she? Not to mention that only a few episodes before she had grown old and died aboard Voyager without ever acquiring these powers. It's not much to ask for continuity in the space of 6 episodes. Nonetheless, the fact she does leave the ship can't be a bad thing - she was quite decent at the role, but it wasn't really getting anywhere (was Harry Kim getting anywhere though, one might ask).
