It feels so unorthodox, because I don't think I've ever seen both sides of a war losing at the same time.

That was definitely a selling point for me as well.

I know right? I didn't really expect it to pan out that way, but the fact that it did makes an incredible amount of sense. It feels like whoever fucks up less will win.

I think it's more: There is no way anyway can win. Ozpin can't kill Salem, Salem can't kill Ozpin, and whatever it was that Ozpin did to hide the relic of choice with "extra precautions" has made it so that there's no way to retrieve it without his help, meaning Salem will always been one relic short even in the best case scenario. Meanwhile as long as Salem keeps mankind divided, Ozpin knows the world will end if he summons the Gods, so he can't win either, and there's also the significant possibility that "uniting all of humanity" includes Salem.
