What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

It wasn't necessarily what I hoped to happen, per se, but what would have made more sense if taking the direction the writers chose. What I hoped for was a much more critical review of Hydaelyn and the removal of her crystal pedestal, more of Zodiark similarly painted in a less black and white view, more on the original Final Days itself, how they dealt with the mounting crisis and the original summoning of Zodiark, and the possibility that some day, at some point, even if far into the future, that the Ancients might be given a second chance, just as... pretty much every single other previously doomed collective in this game has been given.

As you can imagine, EW was a very satisfying experience for me.
