Why Did It End?  When this series premiered back in 2012, The CW was a very different network with predominantly teen-skewing shows on its schedule.  Since then, DC superheroes, and genre entries in general, have taken over the network.  Arrow wrapped its long run with up with its eighth season, but The Flash, Supergirl, Batwoman, and more will pick up the torch, and a possible female-led spin-off could be on the way at some point.
