I was pleased they didn't give it a happy ending for the same reasons, but then, I'm familiar with too many different takes on the story to not expect that ending...
It's rather lovely that many people fell so hard for this version of the legend that they are heartbroken by the tragedy. Camlann *should* leave the audience heartbroken for the opportunities lost: they *should* feel like something important has been broken, I think. Suggests the writers were doing something right that they got that reaction.
