I think it is really depressing if you think how every character set out and how they all ended up. Morgana and Merlin wanted magic to be accepted, but followed entirely different paths and Morgana died at Merlin's hands. With the last priestess dead, the dream of magic returning crumbled along with her...Well, at least she and Mordred will live eternally, as beings that are magic never actually die. Merlin never brought magic and united Albion, Arthur did not either, and Morgana did not bring back the old ways. Everyone failed! Morgana succeeded only in the first part of her mission, which was to kill Arthur...

And yes, I too hate how Morgana and Gwaine died like they were nothing. Especially Morgana, she was one of the main characters and deserved more than that. For God's sake, even Agravaine's death was seen as a more important one!
