The show was "iCARLY". It was created as a star vehicle for Miranda Cosgrove as Carly Shay and, for all intents and purposes, she was THE main character. It was her show, so for the finale to mainly be about her is not a surprise.

Admittedly, as time went on, the show did become much more of an ensemble thing and less of a Carly thing. Sam in particular got A LOT of focus towards the end.

Which might be where the problems with the finale comes in. With the finale, Dan tried to return the show to its roots (being Carly-centric, having the creddie). He tried to bring it back to that and wrap up those stories surrounding Carly. It felt very much like a season 1 episode in that regard. But the issue with that is that the show had really grown out of that by the end of things. A lot of the audience had grown to really care about the other characters, in some cases more so than even about Carly herself. We wanted to know about Sam and Freddie and Spencer's futures and we wanted closure for their stories just as much as we wanted that for Carly.

But that wasn't the sort of finale Dan wanted, so it is what it is at this point.
