being exiled to beyond the wall is not only pointless, since the Night's Watch is functionally irrelevant, but again totally disregards his legacy and his character as the Shield of Men. He was the guy we rooted for because he had all the honorable qualities of Ned Stark but the experience in battle to understand the true cost of war. The lesson here is dedication to the protection of the realm gets you sent to a frozen wasteland.
They spent a lot of time building up that Jon never felt like he belonged anywhere. No matter how much people told him he was a Stark, he never felt like a Stark. It appears he felt the same about being a Targaryen. He appeared most at home with Ygritte and the Wildlings.
I'm not saying season 8 was good, but I can see how his character would actually appreciate his fate.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
