My take on this is different. It was negotiated with Grey Worm that Jon would be banished to the Black forever. Grey Worm doesn’t know the story of the Black and they have nothing to defend. Tyrion knows Jon doesn’t want to be king and actually want to live beyond the wall.

It was a ploy to free Jon and place him where he wants to be and ease the tension of GW. That’s why Jon immediately lives the wall and travels with the wildlings.

That's how I saw it as well.

Ditto. I’ve thought a lot about Jon’s character this season and he wouldn’t GAF about being the one to take out the NK, he’s just glad the living won. He didn’t want the iron throne, he just wanted his family avenged. His entire character arc is honor and nobility and doing the right thing. He’s happy to go have rest north of the wall and forget about the politics of the 6 kingdoms.

I think I was initially upset because it was depicted as a punishment but upon further thinking it’s a blessing for him.

Right. Jon made it clear ad nauseum that he “didn’t want it.” Didn’t want to be king of anything. Maybe there’s a lesson here that if you strive for nothing, you get nothing.

I thought this was supposed to be really clear to the viewer. He went north with the hardhome folks he saved.
