Nagato couldn't even walk on his own, his ribs were all sticking out, coughing blood and just looked like shit.
He didn't give up either, he tried to impale Nauto with a rod but was overpowered, and he even was surprised that Naruto could resist his control at basically point blank range.
To say Nagato just gave up is not very valid. To say he did dumb things to contribute to his lose is. He didn't have to destroy the village, but he did just to prove a point. If he had his gravity powers from the start Naruto would not have killed 4 of the 6 Pains. He didn't have to have a talk with Naruto when he had him pinned down. He made mistakes, but he never just quit like you say.
Naruto won based on his own strength and a bit of Nagato making some silly mistakes. Not out of pity.
