They have could have removed the 7 endings and just included that one instead. The other endings felt completely out of place anyway. That's typically the sign of a director that does not know what to include and to cut out.

So you cut out the Fellowship meeting? You cut the crowning or Aaragon where everybody kneel and was on of the best moments? Do you now show them leaving?

Do you seriously want to stretch the hobbies in bar scene at the end into a what could be its own movie. It simply doesn't practically fit.
