I'm not quite as down on it as you are
But season 8 7 was predictable fanservice garbage in comparison to the previous seasons. Instead of characters making rational decisions based on their established motivations, they were doing utterly stupid things in service of getting plot device A to position B to set up the ending.
Also we've gone from a position where anyone could be offed at any time to characters cheating apparent doom in the most preposterous ways because they're needed for the finale.

Yep, it's shallow, rushed nonsense now.
If the earlier seasons were lovely home cooked Christmas dinners, season 7 was a Happy Meal.
