He won a few fights, but lost more. I hadn't considered him finding clarity and objectivity in death. Which is far more likely. Yeah, the white walkers are coming, but he fired all the bullets he had and failed miserably. There isn't any way he would know of to continue to the fight.
It wasn't what I was expecting, but I'm glad they did it.

Dying seems to have revealed to Jon what his uncle and cousin never learned until it was too late... That life isn't black and white, and decisions can't be made entirely on codes of honor. It's taken a little of the steel out of his spine, but I suspect that will return. It's just that he has been to the void and doesn't want to rush back into it.
