I don't see Maya ever using this one at will, on anyone, with the single exception of Sylar. It's murder, and she's not a murderer. Yet.
I'm fairly certain that she'll get the Sylar experience soon - she has a power she doesn't want, and won' want to use now that she's able to control it. I see the following possible storylines for Maya:
- Either the character stays, in an eternal dilemma of what to do with herself (without her brother and everything), and the series explores that dilemma. Which I strongly doubt.
- She gets killed by Sylar and her powers live on through him.
- Or, the only way I can see her using her powers: She goes over to the dark side and continues to use them. It's more likely than #1. With her twin killed and she already a rather unstable personality, I could imagine her losing it pretty much completely.
(And don't you DARE come near Peter, Maya.)
You forgot that she has molly and mohinder now?

There is a the possibility to use her power to stop villains for the company or even to protect mohi and molly from those.

All 3 characters have something in common and this is SYLAR.
All 3 characters lost family members on him! What's a better motive?
Other than that maya indeed used her ability on purpose on the police station to free her brother.
I admit though that she used it only because she knew he can reverse it.
Since she learns how to control her power and due to the twins aspect which seems that they shared both "other end" of the same power (maya the infection, alejandro the reversion), it seems as when she learns to control it well, she will also be able to reverse the infection like alejandro did.
It would also explain why he was so expendable as well. :/
There are many ways and possibilities for her character to go and I'm sure we would had seen more of this character in Exodus that got cancelled. So her character were only introduced so far and served mainly so sylars story can be driven further and he has one more reason to go back to mohinder.
I would say to rather give some time to the character to develop instead of dropping immediately only because she wasn't happy with the things she couldn't control and with the loss she had as if you were happy by those happenings instead.

Other main characters took two whole seasons to be developed deeply while others were left out or used only to drive the stories of those characters forward so there is always a possibility as long as the writers want to go this way.
