The writers have gotten so used to actors leaving that they no longer even bother to write logical exits for them. Think about it. Jackson got mentioned like once at the beginning of 3a (Colton left on short notice). Isaac just leaves with Chris (despite how he and Scott had become so close and had been living together!). Deucalion gets a stern talking-to (despite being powerful enough to mop the distillery floor with Scott and Derek) and is never seen again and mentioned a couple times maybe (only signed for one season). Ethan just leaves because staying is painful (the Carver's are doing another project), although in fairness he may have decided that life in Scott's pack was more dangerous than life as a lone Omega with lots of enemies (S4 seems to imply as much!).

Tragic character death will actually buy a more detailed exit for departing cast.
