Doing my best to be curious instead of judgemental; but I’m frankly getting sick of this overplayed shit take.
The whole show is about not judging people over their weakest moments and forgiveness. Hate Nate if you wish; it means you’re missing the point.
Again it’s literally the antithesis of the entire show. Forgiveness in their point of weakness - it’d be the same as saying that you’ll never forgive Rebecca because of what she did originally to Ted, despite the fact that she spent the next 2 seasons doing everything possible to make up for it.
You get to see a damaged character spiral into their own negative mental state, lash out, and then almost immediately begin regretting their decisions that hurt those they actually care about. Nate suffers from having his arc conclude near the end of the show, meaning you don’t get to fully reconnect with ‘liking’ him once he’s part of the team again; but this overwhelming vitriol wishing he got an unhappy ending is just absurd.
Would you wish the same of Beard had his betrayal happened on screen? Because it’s the EXACT SAME SITUATION. Ted gives someone his trust, they betray him in a moment of weakness, and he gives a second chance at redemption; despite it not being something they’ve earned.
