Exactly. With this ending, we we're reminded about who Walt really is. He's Heisenberg - the ego fuelled, meth making "gangster". But more importantly, through it all - the ego, the money, the blue, the killings, all of it - Walt is still a strong family guy and a passionate and intelligent chemist.
He finally admitted that his number one driver of the past two years was about him. "I liked it. I was good at it." But driver 2, or even 1b, has always been about his family. Even though Walter's Heisenberg lost sight of 1b lots of times, Walt ALWAYS came back to that in his own obsessed way.
And so that's why this ending couldn't have been any other way, really. It had all the elements of Walter/Heisenberg combined and was executed the way Walter/Heisenberg would have done it. Guaranteed if there had been some Sixth Sense kind of ending or some action movie kind of explosive grand finale, that there'd be far more of a fan uproar than this ending.
