The ending (spoilers I think)

I just wanna start this by saying I'm not hating on the ending of the game at all. However I feel like if the whole idea of the game is that violence breeds violence and revenge is bad or whatever then shouldn't have Ellie gone forward with killing Abby in the end? I feel like her killing Abby and then going back to her house just to realise that she lost her family,lost the ability to play the guitar Joel gave her, the songs they used to play and finally lost herself in the process would lead to a more powerful ending and would drive the message home. Perhaps she could also idk kill herself but idk if that's too dark or if they're planning to have a 3rd game. I just feel like the game's ending left me feeling very empty and that it was all in vain all those deaths didn't really mean anything at the end which is maybe what the game intended feel free to enlighten me. Also, before anyone assumes anything I don't hate Abby but I don't think she's a saint either like some people like to make her out to be and I did enjoy her gameplay a lot maybe even more than Ellie's gameplay.

Edit: Ik the way I worded this post makes it seem like I think Ellie made the wrong choice but I do think that she ultimately made the right by sparing Abby and ending the cycle
