Particularly if they knew the endgame was Ted and Robin getting back together, why make me sit through a whole year of Barney and Robin working out their issues? If the yearlong climax of your show is a wedding, you're giving a message that this is the real deal. and by showing Ted having a hard time getting over Robin, then ending up with her, you're suggesting he was never over her, even when he was with Tracy, which is a fucked up conclusion to his "love story".
