No it did not. The series did not say the society has changed or everything is "happily ever after" as you imply but Saki and Satoru were working towards a change and believed in that change.
And SSY did show us how they were working towards that change.
* First Saki made sure many monster rat societies were spared. I understand that might look like she is in control of their lives and nothing has changed, but nothing will change if they are all killed off. Despite the obvious hate the humans might have for the monster rats, Saki was able to intervene on their behalf. Perhaps it won't be their generation but another generation of PK users and Monster rats that will solve things in ways this generation could not.
* In the farther future we see that Saki and/or Satoru are researching Akki and Gouma. They might not have the answer about stopping this from occurring but they also haven't resolved to do nothing.
* Saki and Satoru are contacting the other villages and not dealing with this issue just within their own small world.
* Anyways the most telling sign is Saki and Satoru are hopeful not fearful of their new child. The message at the end even says "an object of fear turns into hope". They talk about their child's future not if it will have a future.
* Saki is also writing to the people 1000 years in future again showing us she believes that humanity will have this future.
All these things were small not life changing events. They were small steps and many more will have to be taken but the message is clear that they have started to take those steps.
Anyways we can say Saki and Satoru had more opportunities than Akane and co. and that is actually true but in the end it was the writers who created these situations for the characters.
