Just more people complaining for the sake of complaining. Just because the ending may have been "predictable" does not mean it should be called a disappointment. Breaking Bad was never really that unpredictable to begin with; instead it was methodical and clued in viewers on the major moments that were going to happen in the show. Sure it also had its share of shocking moments like Hank finding Walt's book, or Walt running over those drug dealers to save Jesse, but then there was the predictable moments like Jesse needing to kill Gale, Hank's death, and Walt taking out Gus (even in mindblowing fashion). This is a show that didn't really rely on Twin Peaks style twists or Lost's deus ex machina to surprise people. Instead it set things up for viewers, slowly played out what was going to happen, and that allowed people to engage in what was going to happen. The finalie was no different, and a twist ending (like Jesse killing Walt) would have been the wrong move imo. It was tremendously satisfying, and hit on everything the viewers asked for, which is exactly what they set out to do.
Plus like others said twists really don't work in series finalie's anyway.
