IT HAS BEEN SUCH A FUN HELLPIT OF INSANITY TO BE IN THESE PAST FEW WEEKS.
But yeah, I totally see what you're saying! I was all geared up to be mad -- and it does suck that Cas wasn't in the finale -- but then when you stop and realize that actually Dean and Cas are canonically in the same place forevermore, and that we didn't see Dean respond to Cas's confession so you can technically expect his response to go either way (and we DID see him smile super happy at the mention of Cas; not to mention Bobby's Insinuating Eyebrow Wriggle!!), it's like ... maybe they WERE trying to let it be canon to the very limited extent that they could? It's definitely set up for the Destiel shippers to be able to play in that sandbox of what-happens-after very easily.
it was always constructed within a classic storytelling framework as a Romance. the sheer concept of a divine Angel of the Lord saving a mortal from Hell, growing Human feelings and Free Will, then betraying God himself and falling from Heaven out of loyalty to a single human
