Well, he did the more dramatically exciting thing, not the sensible thing, and that's fine. It's a TV show. I think the decision is wrong from a moral perspective, not from a storytelling perspective (though several aspects of it felt muddled)

Joel using 10 bullets to quickly kill 10 people is no longer dramatically exciting.

Is anyone going to point out that Joel isn't her dad but a guy who's only known her for a few months and violates her trust to selfishly use her as a stand-in for his actual daughter

I already covered that when you called it hollow and didn't elaborate.

In my view Joel is not Ellie's adoptive parent either, though he manipulates her pretty monstruously into that position

I feel like she chose him for that position when he was set to have Tommy take her the rest of the way and she reacted by basically saying how everyone leaves her.
