yes, not everything is as great as it could be, and nothing is certain in the future
but there is a world of difference between the uncertainty of what could happen in the future, and the certainty of knowing lelouch had ended up killing the few precious people he had left, as a result of his egocentric bid for social change
the ending, as is, ranges from happy to bittersweet
having lelouch's actions result in the deaths of the very people he was trying to protect, would have made it a downer one

And on that I'll agree. Still, it would have been quite the bit of poetic justice (a dark poetic justice, mind you) if they had died and thus Lelouch would have paid for his "egocentric bid for social change." But as you said, downer ending.
