Brilliant explanation:

Cliff notes version:
Sopranos was all about ambiguity. A powerful and successful mob boss who was as decent a family man as many, in therapy, with a screwup kid. Amoral people with strict rules about conduct.
Us being entertained by realistic stories about appalling and brutal violence, visited on both criminals and ordinary people.
For that to be wrapped up in a pretty pink TV show ribbon would have been stupid. The right ending is ambiguous, causes us to think, and to be more than a little uncomfortable.
Don't expect a movie from David Chase. If he does do one, don't expect it to answer your questions.
