I can see that kind of ending for an 80s/90s show. If they had done that, I would have hated them. The Good Wife was good for all the things that remained unsaid, untold, the looks, smirks and silences that said much more than a thousand words. So I find it logical that most things were hinted and left to the imagination of the viewers.
They also could also give closure and get completely bonkers by proposing a totally different ending that shows all characters in 20 years:
Alicia: President of the US, absolutely bitter and cynical, married to a trophy husband, totally forgot the investigator
Diane: retired with her hubby in a country house near a lake, shooting guns; she turned Republican and became Alicia's political adversary in Illinois, catfights, the slap was just the first one of a long series
Cary: married to Nancy Crozier, who's passive agressive with him, 6 kids, teacher with brown corduroy trousers, wool cardigan, a pipe and a moustache
Kalinda: Alicia's first decision as POTUS was to have her killed
Grace: failed law school, forgot all the Christian stuff, does Kabbalah becomes her father's assistant, writes a book about her mother "The Not So Good Mother", does a trashy real TV show
Zach: married Luca Quinn, doesn't speak to his mother anymore
Eli: turned gay and married Colin Sweeney, who's always open to new experiments, became a sex slave and in charge of his dogs
Peter: in jail for another case of corruption, sentenced to 10 years
Will Gardner: he's not dead! he faked his death and reappears just as Alicia solemnly swears that she will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of her ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. She can keep her composure although she's deeply upset.
