There is another possibility...

When the Coens purchased the rights to the story, the author mandated that the ending accompany the filmed version, and that requirement was part of the purchased contract. This would leave two options. First, complete the film as the contract requires, or two, do not purchase the rights to the film, and the film does not get made. It would not be the first time that an author refused to sell the rights to a story until a studio or film maker agreed not to make substantial changes to the story. I am curious as to which choice the posters who complain about the ending would make.

Obviously, I do not know whether this is the case, and whether the Coens could have written another ending. But it seems only fair that before people criticize the Coens they conduct a little research to determine why the Coens did what they did. You certainly would not want people to watch you enter and leave your office and make determinations about what and why you did what you did in the privacy of your office when they never bothered to set foot in the building.
