I have to agree, generally speaking. It seems like people only treat sad endings as truly intelligent? I genuinely cannot think of many books regarded as classics, outside of children's books, that really have happy endings (Shakespeare's comedies probably qualify, I guess). People tend to look at a sad ending and see it as deep more easily, teaching some important lesson or a comment on human existence in a more significant way than happy endings do. Sad endings are so often looked at as a "refreshing" departure from fairytale endings, when they are not. They have a lot of merit, and part of why they DO make people think so much is because they can have great emotional impact. But as someone who reads for entertainment, I just like happier stories better, and I wish that they'd get more acknowledgment of their own merits, including those of the ending.

I think of part of this in a way that's kind of the opposite of the OP, though: yes, there are a lot of sad endings in real life. There's nothing unrealistic about that. But there's a lot of happiness, too, and I feel like the current fictional situation misrepresents this.
