That ending was my favorite thing tbh. Mostly because it doesn't seem like a heroic ending. It felt a lot more villainous. Ellie could have been the solution to creating a cure, but Joel wouldn't agree to it. He killed Marlene, the surgeons, everyone working toward finding a solution that was standing in his way. I think Ellie knew he was lying at the end there, but didn't want to call him on it.
Also if you haven't seen the alternate ending, I think this is pretty relevant right now. :P
