TLoU has always seemed to put a heavy emphasis on the consequences of actions, and Ellie certainly has a lot to live with after the events of TLoU 2.
If the first game was about love and the second about hate, maybe the third follows something like acceptance, or maybe even darker like depression / PTSD. And with another time jump of a few years, who knows what the landscape of the world looks like now- are there factions that are closer to discovering a cure? Are there more / less infected in the world thanks to the efforts of those who are still alive?
I think TLoU 3 would be a good ending point- and I think shifting focus from a multiplayer experience is a smart move too. It was a what, a 5-year gap from the first-to-second games? And we saw how much Jackson as a community changed in that time- so I agree it would be difficult to create an experience that still feels fresh and canon to the main story after 3-or-so years without devoting massive amounts of resources.
