For me I guess I felt it just gave the ending that extra dose of reality to it. It was very harsh for sure, but so much else about the ending felt so fanservicey and overwhelmingly positive in a very bleak world that that ending to me felt like it fit better.
Plus death of the author and all that sure, but the idea that Kojima wanted to do this and purely didn’t not because he changed his mind but because he got death threats and pushback from his team because of feedback feels wrong. That felt like it was the type of thing that drove a lot of story decisions that didn't feel quite right in the MGS universe.
