Supposedly that was the ending they came up with in season 2. When it still sorta made sense for that ending to work. Not 9 seasons later when you’ve explored them having a relationship numerous times and had an episode about “letting her go” in the last season.
The guy that plays Ted was like “wait we’re still doing this???”
“…and that’s the justification for why I’m gonna go grief-bang your Aunt Robin now that Mom’s dead.”

They even filmed another better ending. They saw it and still went that stupid blue horn ending.
