It was trying to escape a happy ending or not making time travel a compete solution.
Logan was the better film and had the better ending. DOFP is highly overrated and is full of missed opportunities.
Regarding DOFP's ending, Mystique's reveal was thrown in as a "shock ending" at the last minute by a compulsive director with no regards for continuity or foresight. It served no other purpose.
How is DOFP overrated.Compared to which movie? I didn't even love DOFP as much as I did until I saw a worse execution of time travel with another marvel movie called Endgame, that missed more opportunities even for MCU usual immature standards.
Mystique's ending was not a shock ending, if you have watched many time travel movie or many twisted movies you would expect that type of ending. The director doesn't want to make it easy, especially when its time travel. There could still be consequences for violating nature like reserving time, that was the point of the ending. That is smarter to how simple and preditcbale Endgame used time travel.
You are right that DOFP messed up the continuity but as a stand alone movie that was supposed to be the ending to the prequels, it was a pure gold. Logan was a breathtaking send off to the main character of the series.
