I like to think that the "lifetime sentence" was a joke to appease the Unsullied, and that Jon went to live among the Free Folk.
Him being on the throne wasn't the only valid conclusion to that reveal.
Jon never liked being defined by his birth and instead wanted to be defined by his actions. That isn’t going to change because he’s the king, a role that terrifies him and he wants nothing to do with, instead of a bastard. You can’t try to force someone who truly DOES NOT want to be king onto the throne, and this shows why. He’s never been raised for it, he isn’t prepared for it, the whole idea is terrifying and overwhelming. It’s a very human reaction for him.
At the same time, the presence of a competitor absolutely helps drive Dany over the edge because she’s no longer the last Targaryen or the true heir. She lost everything in pursuit of a throne she probably can’t get and will certainly never hold, as people will always pick Jon as King over her despite him not wanting that throne in any way, shape, or form. He’s not going to marry her, so they can’t rule together. Despite the seeming promise of a Targaryen restoration, Jon’s claim ends up being the destruction of the Targaryen house and line.
I really loved it. Clever flip of an age-old fantasy trope that’s been in stuff like DAO or LOTR.
