That's your interpretation of the ending, but
Anyways I am not really saying either SSY or Psychopass have a more hopeful look towards humanity as a whole (if anything the SSY society might be even more bleak and tragic) but the development of the main characters in SSY at least fills me with more hope & I enjoyed Saki and Satoru's development more than Akane and co.
Edit And another thing I also thought squealer's ending was much more satisfying than Makishima in terms of storytelling & character development
Although the direction of Makishima's ending was superb it left me a little flat. I thought Makishima was a great character and deserved something more...
