Yeah, it made me sad because he sort of apologized to the person. Ultimately, Ken doesn't owe anyone anything.

That part kind of broke my heart. In retrospect, I should have gone with my gut and shouted “we love you, Ken” after he did that. Because you’re right, he doesn’t owe us anything. And he certainly doesn’t owe us trying to uphold some ideal we have of him that we’ve invented on our own.
