Maybe I replied to the wrong person, sorry.
However that last 73 is not needed RR73 the QSO is over. Case in point, on SSB how many DX stations send a 73 back to you? None that I've ever worked. I say 73 and the DX calls QRZed not 73. Do I log it? absolutely. Too many using FT8 think you need that 73 for the QSO to be valid.
I know ops who say:
No grid no work
No 73 no log
Which is just being silly.
However with all that said, it's up to the individual ops to what they work and when they log, but to me the software does exactly what it should do.
Have a good evening.

Can you point out where I stated what you claim above ?

My method of using FT8 is fine & effective, and I have method for repeat
RR calls.

My point is that the final 73 comes after both stations acknowledge the
other parties signal report,

and a final 73 lets the other party know that is the case.
