The main protagonist of the sequel trilogy was a woman in order to provide girls with a role model. And I'm sorry, but for a girl who supposedly longed for a family to end up with no one but a droid for company, alone on a barren desert world just like the one she was enslaved on, is not something anyone, boy or girl, to aspire to.
And FYI, I never liked it as a chosen fate for boys OR girls. In fact I found it loathsome that children, once discovered to be Force sensitive, had little choice with what to do with their lives than become intergalactic monks/nuns. Which is why I liked what Rian Johnson tried to do with TLJ, and Luke's. "It's time for the Jedi to end" speech.
It's possible she just stopped by Tatooine to bury the sabers. Clearly she has some Jedi-related plans since she built her own new one.

Maybe.
But if so, how come it ended with her alone?
It's just so.....weird. And in any case, if she's going to be a Jedi it will mean a solitary life. No husband, no children, no family.

I said Obi-wan, Yoda, and Luke because they were the most prominent Jedi in Star Wars (not that they lived the hermit life style which is different than a monk). The monk type life is not living alone at all as the prequel trilogy showed they certainly did not heck there is a monastery not far form my house and I talk to the monks form there often. So her being a woman to provide girls with a good role model, means that she need to get shipped-up and procreate? In the end of Jonhson's TLJ Luke clearly says that "I will not be the last Jedi" meaning that Johnson was not planning on ending the Jedi just giving Luke a low place to be full of doubt.
The term Last Jedi I think comes from what Yoda tells Luke before he dies. And that it way it is Yoda that visits him on Ahch-To as a force ghost to remind him.
I'm not of fan of The Last Jedi but I really do think that Johnson is a Star Wars fan.Originally Posted by Yoda

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting
Yeah, I mean the movie even makes a point that exiling one's self is not the way to do things.
Let's see, she was trained by the Skywalkers, joined Leia's Resistance movement, inherited the Jedi mantle that they were the last traces of, was adopted into the family. Quite a lot actually.
