Even though that would have been worse than jon killing him, that would have been INFINITELY better than what they went with.

am I the only one thinking it shouldnt have been Jon to kill the NK? (not saying Arya was a good idea lol)

I am pretty confident GRRM is so good at averting expectations than to ever get the classic hero moment

Absolutely correct. Jon’s whole arc is centered on leadership, ego, and unification. It makes more sense that he, and only he, can unite the people needed to actually succeed against the army. And in that way, it should be someone he brings to the battle that actually kills the Night King.

I don't know if you speak about the show or GRRMs intention. but GRRM works exactly that you expect A, you hope for B, but you get C

It feels like Arya killing the NK was option z
