Chances are people are always going to disagree on every work of fiction out there (and even a lot that aren't fiction). But to give you an example, OP, if a story was about Mark, Liz, Jenny, Tony, Peter, Mary, Steve, Ruby, Barbara and Mike, and the author ended a long book by pairing every one of these characters up (with someone else from the main cast, no less), wouldn't it feel odd to you? Particularly if half the pairings were barely even hinted at, much less developed?

Or, to use a non-romance example, because it happens in romance, too, what if a character uses a freakishly large weapon to fight with, despite being frail-looking/small in stature? Chances are most people aren't going to desperately want an answer as to why the character can lift that weapon because, if the story and universe are written well and entertainingly enough, it doesn't need to be explained and can even be a source of humor because you don't expect [weak-looking person] to be able to do that. Now what if the author goes out of his/her way to write a lengthy explanation about the mystical forces at work that allow [character] to swing that weapon? Wouldn't that feel odd? Particularly if nobody else gets an exposé on why they do [X] feat?

So yeah. TL;DR, I do think there are definitely instances where authors get into the habit of wrapping everything up to an odd degree, and that's what a lot of people notice.
