From what I gather, that's partly the western fanbase fault.

They wanted a Zelda timeline, asked Nintendo a gazillion times as well for "dark and mature story for mature gamers such as ourselves".

Since Zelda doesn't seem to have a big fanbase in Japan, remaining relatively niche, this is where Nintendo's fault enters: Giving in to the desires, ruining the core philosophy of "gameplay is first, the story doesn't matter", which made the earlier entries in Zelda so iconic and enjoyable.

That said, I kinda like how Ganon is the re-incarnation of Demise, and how being the Demon King he can't be simply eliminated for good... Not by SS Link's incarnation.

I see WW Link as THE finale (for his timeline), he's not the Link that fought Demise, he's a random kid who got caught in the conflict.

And because he's a badass random kid, he could end up the re-incarnation cycle, the demon's curse.

Also, to be fair, I don't think Ganondorf remembers his previous life as Demise, so I don't believe it really undermined him. As the pig Ganon, though... Well, maybe he does when he's Pig form.
