I agree, it would be a rather large [expletive redacted] to all the customers. However, the "it was all a dream" trick is terrible storytelling. It makes the player feel as though they've been duped, and the entire narrative was a waste of time. It's also a contrived way of cleaning up plot holes, and a terrible excuse for having them in the first place. It's a convenient fix, not an excuse for bad writing, and it raises even more issues, if not more, than it "fixes".
