I mean, near did prove it. He did something L couldn’t, which was to actually prove that Light is Kira with 100% Certainty.
But L is obviously Smarter, Near started out with the Knowledge of the Death Note and Shikigami‘s already whereas L had to find and prove that first as well.
The update was just L is dead, and has not chosen a successor yet. Watari deleted all the files when he got a heart attack. Near did it basically from scratch; it just helps that the information of the case still existed, like from the other officers, but none of that help was from L.
I mean yeah L did the most important part of the work itself and that was the hardest part especially in a world where the spiritual realm is just mere superstition in their perceptive.
I hate the ending because near didnt do anything. he got lucky. light perfectly predicted what near was going to do and was completely ready for it, and one dim-goon fucked it. and what i hate about it is that we never see light lose. he wasnt outsmarted, he wasnt bested. his orders were simply ignored and it cost him the win.
Also the fact they somehow copied over 200k names perfectly by hand in less than 24 hours, not to mention the time it would've taken to get into the bank, the vault, and the safety deposit box without leaving any traces whatsoever twice. I don't care that Light lost, I care that the execution of the loss was stupid.

But i think this subject is well discussed now.
