It's actually also a terrible ending for Ted. It was anti development. He blindly ran back to Robin every time he suffered a big break up or other devastating event. He used her as a reason to not move on and grow up. She was a crutch for him, as Victoria wisely pointed out. That's why him letting go of her in season 9 was an important moment, but the writers totally undid that development with the ending. Why was Robin the love of Ted’s life that he could never completely get over even after years of happiness and children with a woman who was perfect for him on every conceivable level? The show never answers that question. I don't even like Ted, really. But bad writing is bad writing and that annoys me.

A proper ending for Ted would have shown him no longer having an ounce of romantic feeling for a woman he simply never fit with. His late 20/30 year old self thought love was enough but his 40/50 year old self should have come out wiser than that. Love doesn’t magically change people. "Love" doesn't make a woman more suitable for a man, but it can make him believe that she is.

I do have a little bit of righteous anger for Robin, though because I'm a woman who doesn't want children and doesn't even practically like them. The writing screwed her over by not even having her being friends with Lily after she and Barney got divorced. That might have been the worst insult to her character. A woman who wanted love and family her entire life got robbed of that because she had dreams that wasn't a baby.

Actually don't disagree with anything you've said here and it just makes the finale even more shitty. Basically everyone got done dirty in some way and it's a symptom of the writers sticking rigidly to their desired end game when the series went on waaaay too long to stick with it.
