Yeah people care a about the characters, of course. But we have ALL their stories pretty much answered, it's done.
The Island is a character, that was the main selling point that got the show made, and with that, a large portion of the interest and popularity of the show. They go hand in hand. The characters are interesting because of who they are, but they are also special and on a special place that has its own history. Jacob chose those people because they are special and were meant to be part of the Island.
If the answers to what the island is is answered, then I believe the others answers to other hard questions will be answered, and even if they are not, they will at least make sense and still leave a cool bit of mystery with regard to the context of the show.
We have been promised answer since the show started, and yeah, we have been given some, but not of massive importance.
I still have faith in the writers and the show, and I understand what you are saying. But you have to understand its not that the ending isn't living up to what we expect, its just that its not giving anything to satisfy the interest and mystery towards ANY answer, at all, which is the main problem.
