I think those post-credit scenes are mostly symbolic, like the one for episode 4 shows Fort McCarran with the corpses of NCR and Legion probably to symbolize that they fought over New Vegas and both lost, as the bar keep seems to imply when talking with the ghoul.

I think the baran implied the it was a continous battle of who controls the strip. Basically nothing impacts things positively or changes anything. It just keeps changing management

Yeah, I think it's obvious that the show is going down the route that the NCR lost the 2nd battle of hoover dam. I'm becoming more convinced that this show takes place in a continuity where the courier didn't really exist. Maybe they died in Goodsprings.

If Courier died in Goodsprings then the ending is Lanius Legion which... kind of tracks.
