Exactly. I love ambiguity in texts. I feel like Shaskespeare was very good at this, but I don't think wanting clarity for some things is proof that you want to be spoonfed everything. Even moments of ambiguity need a strong context to work well.

I feel like sometimes fans tend to fall in these extremes like all ambiguity is proof of bad writing or all ambiguity must be deliberate otherwise it wouldn't be there and creators are infallible because they're the creator. Yes sometimes ambiguity is deliberate and is great and sometimes it can be just a reflection of something that is poorly developed and just plain not well done or vague and ill-defined and it's less a case of ambiguity and just poor writing.

And the fact that this can happen a fair bit in tv writing doesn't seem all that surprising to me since you often have multiple writers, guest writers, guest directors and so on and a show runner who may not be as on top of things as they could be.

But then again I see a lot of the flipside from OP's secret of fandom using any vagueness/ ambiguity in canon to justify any and all fanon and head canon as infallible which I think might actually more tedious than wanting canon to make some sense.
