So you can't get a satisfying ending by reaching the end point of a single character's arc. It would leave 90% of the other character arcs unresolved.
Sometimes it's not really gratifying. You leave the audience trying to fill in the blanks when you finish.
Haven't read the books. But he could have left it with Kalesi with her rule, Tyrion in power, John Snow rising to prominence. Will all those people continue? Will they take up fighting again? I've seen several movies that end without a definitive conclusion. It is unusual, but it can be done.
One thing I did like is that this series didn't have a "safe" character. No one seemed to have "plot armor". It was sort of jarring, but that went well with the story.
