Never said that. ;)

I don't think print $NF is particularly readable, but it's definitely a
matter of opinion. :)

Ouch, bitten again by the vagaries of shell expansion. Still, I have to
note that the grep with quoting:
grep -oE "[0-9]+$" foo.txt>new_file.txt
is still shorter than your sed (well, the same length if you drop the
space before the redir... ;))
