Everyone keeps saying 'Sasuke sucks and should die' and 'Kishimoto sucks for ending the manga before Naruto becomes Hokage'. . . Blah blah blah.

Sasuke and Naruto have a difference of opinion on the how to achieve the exact same future of lasting peace. Period. Naruto thinks the world will be fine if he leads by example, and his way of thinking is passed down from generation to generation but this is waaaaaayyy too idealistic. Feasible sure but sooner or later the fighting would just start up again as people would still seek power, especially with no direct connection to the past and this conflict. This whole battle would eventually just become lore like the Sage was in the first place.

Whereas Sasuke wants to ultimately try to stop anyone from gaining power by destroying the village system and the tailed beasts. Thereby ruling everything himself and without the tailed beasts, people would not have individual masses of power to fight for. But his thinking is also flawed because he cannot rule the world like that without immediately sparking more conflict.

Both have good intentions but both only have temporary solutions (albeit Naruto's is better and longer lasting with less immediate bloodshed). Naruto wants to believe in people's will to not fight, whereas Sasuke doesn't trust anyone to not fight and feels he must stop it himself.

As far as Naruto not being Hokage by the end, there are movies coming people. Just relax.
