If Dan didn't have Sam & Cat, he would've been compelled to make a clear decision, and committ to either Creddie or Seddie. Because Sam's character continues on, I figure Dan wants to bait the Seddiers--the likely audience for Sam & Cat--with the notion of a possible romance between Sam and Freddie. Dan wants to have his cake and eat it, too. He wanted to give the Creddiers relief in the idea of Carly and Freddie's romance still being possible, while leaving it just open-ended enough to not completely disenfranchise the Seddiers. iCarly will still be a marketable brand for months after the finale, so Dan didn't completely alienate the Creddiers. This doesn't change, as Neonpink mentioned earlier, that this was a cop-out for iCarly.

Don't get me wrong, I still hold the series in high esteem, but the last episode--as far as the ships are concerned--"bankrupted" Seddie for me. And a lot of that has nothing to do with Carly or Sam, but the link between Creddie and Seddie: Freddie, himself.
