The story wanted a theme of utilizing perspective to contextualize the motive after the fact, but the story always bothers me for failing to establish abby's motive to ellie properly giving the story an air of misunderstanding which looms, and came to a point during the ellie boss battle, and i believe causing people to rage in hindsight. Years later i respect what they did as they were asking so much of whoever played the game, and it could very well be seen as an accomplishment that players would let abby die there. lol
I think that, the lack of understanding is what made the ending more poignant. like, even not fully knowing Abby's side, Ellie was able to push herself to sparing her, even if it was just for Lev's sake, knew that it wasn't what Joel would want for her, or whatever the reason.

They just had to make him excessively stupid to make it happen, and that was the problem.
yea, he should have hung out with the zombies in the freezing cold and/or immediately started gunning at a group of strangers he just met...
