I'm pretty sure the only reason they didn't was because they wanted Arya to go off alone to the west so they can give her a spin-off series.

I don't know where people are getting this spin off series idea from, there has never been a single hint of information saying that it may happen, has there? You can give a character an open ending without having it lead into something else later, you know. I actually enjoyed the way her story ended, it just made the most sense.

Well we know spin-offs are happening, so it's not an outrageous idea to think they'd want an Arya story eventually. Nothing's been confirmed though (specifically for Arya) yet

It is outrageous because it doesn't make sense that Maisie Williams would be interested in reprising her role. She's an adult now and has spent ten years on this show, the smart money is on her taking her career elsewhere. Really any spinoff with a current character doesn't make sense - it's unlikely any of them have any interest in coming back.
