Someone dies.
The whole episode you hear them all talking about how they can do anything now. Carl says he'll never let someone die like (forgot the character) again. Rick acts like he's king $#it of **** mountain with all the power and control.
The point is they all get humbled. They all get afraid again. They lost any control they thought they had. They all get returned to what they were before they arrived at Alexandria. Attacking Alexandria doesn't matter.
Negan took away everything each character gained during their time in Alexandria. The actual place still standing doesn't matter - the hope, the future, the safety the place represented are all gone...the idea of Alexandria is dead...

I rewatched the very end of the episode the other day. On 2nd viewing, I started to understand the ending & actually think it was done decently. Yes, I would have preferred to see who died, but like you said - it doesn't really matter which one of them it was. It wasn't about WHO died, it was about what that death means to the mindset of the group.
