I don't know about you guys, but I doubt that Kubo wanted to end it like this. Editors have a lot of say in what happens.
This is not much proof, but back when Bleach was about to start, Kubo wanted to change some stuff in the first chapter, but was denied by his editor.
Also, in one of his interviews, someone asked him about romance in Bleach and Kubo said something along the lines of not wanting to delve too much into it. And here we are at the ending with Ichihime and Rukia ending up with Renji. If Kubo really wanted to make Ichigo end up with someone, he would probably have kept it vague.
TLDR: I'm blaming Kubo's editor like an asshole. I know that it isn't just them - Kubo has really bad pacing and brings up too much plot points without a conclusion to them. Also, all of this is just my speculation. Just take it as me being salty.
Anyways, enough of all of that. I would like to thank Kubo for all of these years of Bleach. It really is my favorite out of the big 3. It had its up and downs, but it was a ride that will last with me for years to come.
I would also like to thank r/Bleach for being one of the best subreddit I have joined. You guys and your Bleach memes had me bursting out of laughter.
And last but not least, thank you guys too for following Bleach for this long (even though you guys are really disappointed or probably dislike Bleach as of now). It made me happy to have people to talk about Bleach with.
I'm going to go cry in the corner now.
