They stopped because they had another thing they wanted to explore and it wasn't solved into later season 3 where they ended that plot and Snow pretty much reversed her thought because the writers settled on that viewers want more SB. So it wasn't really solely a  real character moment as it was also a means to adjust the series. If people responded to hatred of SB scenes, there would be a definite (small) difference. I have to disagree, about Mary Margaret. She always wanted to stay in Storybrooke, because that was where Emma was. It was David, who wanted to go back to the Enchanted Forest. The irony of the Dark Curse, was that it gave everyone a second chance. The characters were never going to leave Storybrooke, because that was their happy ending. Plus, they all like modern technology.
