What this chapter did was simply reaffirm what I've been thinking all along, which is: Obito had the potential to be the best written character in the series, but ultimately, Kishi failed in making him so. His motivation for becoming the very embodiment of the corrupted shinobi world isn't up to snuff for all the crimes that he's committed. So even though his death alone in this chapter was good, everything leading up to his demise was poorly executed, and in result, it makes his death feel hollow. At least to me.
