It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Sigh, the piece ends in G Mixolydian; thus what you call the "leading tone" is F, and yes: a whole step from




the tonic G, which can be disorienting to diatonically-oriented ears. Perhaps that's why you didn't think the piece ended very decisively. In Mixolydian and other modes BTW, the "leading tone" (or 7th note) is best called the subtonic.

The final alternating chords are F/Bb/D (connected by E, F) and landing on G/B natural/D. So your claim that the piece ends on the leading tone simply is incorrect. It ends on the tonic "G".
