Now this is pure speculation, but consider. We know Wesen have more or less been around since the beginning, as such it stands to reason that so have Grimms.

Perhaps in the beginning they did protect both parties, its just as they needed to protect humans more (after all Wesen have all the advantages except numbers) over time there intention shifted, and what we're seeing now is the natural progression of the events.

I mean most of the records we've heard date back a few centuries, the earliest around two thousand years ago.

Whose to say what the state of affairs was like? Say 5,000 years ago? 10,000 years?

No one knows obviously, cause no records survive, and like I said its only speculation, but I think its a plausible theory.

If not, I think the idea of them being something of a natural buffer state makes sense.
