i understood the ending as it has been explained but it still makes no sense and ties up zero loose ends

I watched the show as it aired and rewatched the show on Hulu a couple years ago. I remember the theories and trying to figure out what happened and I think we just built it up more than it was. When I finished my rewatch everything that was important felt answered. There’s always gonna be some lose ends.

So a magic traveling island with a smoke monster makes sense but not fatefully intertwined people having a shared purgatory?

I for one am not someone who shits on the ending although it could have been better. I think a larger portion of general audience will accept fantastical elements, especially when introduced early, compared to religious nonsense.

Partly the same reason Battlestar Galacticas ending isn't generally liked. For the majority of GoT I refused to believe the red lady's powers were anything to do with a God and were just random magic powers since in the real world its all just sky fairy bs. Why should I accept this other world fictional or based on ours has real gods
