From a recap/review I read—

Why Freddy Didn’t Get His Comeuppance
Now, why did Freddy get to live? That’s honestly hard to say. Maybe it is because Ray truly doesn’t want to do this anymore and knows that this whole loop of betrayal and revenge would never end if he killed Freddy. For if he kills Freddy, he has to kill Freddy’s girlfriend probably, and then her family will cause a fuss, and so on and so forth.
This ultimately makes it seem that Ray would rather be the ghost in Freddy’s nightmares than actually kill him.

Since the beginning of the series, Freddy has been an ass that didn’t really deserve Ray. Granted, he got Ray paid and made him a very rich man, but he was just this sniveling creep who you just wanted to see get messed up. So when he outright tried to screw over Ray, which honestly doesn’t feel like the first time, and Ray let it go?

As noted, we got why Ray likely did it but considering this is the last we’ll see of these characters, is it wrong to want some wish fulfillment?
