I think it was about business and there were no hits from Mary herself and as Mary said, the albums from the 70’s Supremes didn’t sell well. It was a downward trend after Stoned Love. No record company will continue to throw money after something that isn’t working out. And Mary and Pedro were their own worst enemies.

Mary should have focused and did what Otis and Duke did to keep their groups alive. People dislike Otis a lot but he lasted.
totally agree that mary's biggest path to success was as part of a group. keeping the sups going would have been her best option. but the group needed sound management. something that could help them continue to be a public entity.
