Re: final note in studies

To me it's an opportunity to make sure you've kept your fundamentals intact during whatever gymnastics you've just been through. If you can get a beautiful in-tune sound with as much relaxation, beauty, and focus as you could were it the first note, you've done well. If not, there's probably some room for improvement in what came before. Playing with and being able to maintain ease is key to getting maximum benefit from most studies.

A similar opportunity arises when the etude ends with extended tonic arpeggios or scales that are simpler than most of what came before, as is #19 from Opperman's Master Studies, JeanJean's Vade Mecum etudes 2 and 3, and so many more.
