I know what you mean, but with time to stew on it I am less convinced the darkness of where we left the bereft billionaires would linger long. Except for maybe Kendall! There is nothing stopping Shiv from branching out on her own, certainly not her bank account, and arguably doing something that would gain her more respect/not keep her stuck at the helm of her dad's old ship. I think they chose to end on a really dark note, I was totally gutted too. But also I think Shiv is going to Shiv, she is going to want revenge on Mattson for screwing her over, and probably will use her influence with Tom to get it!
