It was a badly written plot contrivance which compacted her descent into madness into like 4-5 scenes which were also mostly badly written. Essentially D&D wanted to convey that she came to understand the only method to break the wheel of the world was to destroy it, and the ultimate tragedy is that the wheel remains unbroken at her departure...just starting a new revolution.
There is almost certainly a longer campaign in the books where she goes north to defeat the night king, where she learns that the north won't kneel. There's almost certainly a longer campaign against Euron, where she learns the dead cannot die. Cat is both drowned and from the north. There's almost certainly a longer campaign against the Lannisters, where she learns they will pay those debts. Etc. There's a whole missing winter in the show.
It simply wasn't written well and was hurried to get to Star Wars. It failed spectacularly.
