Updated this ask to add the GIFs.
One of the things I love pondering on the Chuck Won Theory is if this mutated Thing we're calling God is a Force or a Person?
What if that sniveling, crying mess left behind in the woods is just Chuck, and he's now like Nick, and he can't quite tell exactly who he is anymore. Was he God, or wasn't he? Where did that thing end and he begin?
CHUCK: This... This... This is why you're my favorites. You know, for the first time, I have no idea what happens next. Is this where you kill me? I mean, I could never think of an ending where I lose. But this, after everything that I've done to you... to die at the hands of Sam Winchester... Of Dean Winchester, the ultimate killer... It's kind of glorious.
Maybe he has no idea because he's finally free of that Force. That's the whole point. It's GONE.
DEAN: Sorry, Chuck.
CHUCK: What? What?
DEAN: See, that's not who I am. That's not who we are.
CHUCK: What kind of an ending is this?
SAM: (to JACK) His power. You sure it won't come back?
JACK: It's not his power anymore.
The unstoppable Force of the narrative, preset and predestined, lives in Jack now. Chuck just wanted to finally be free, and maybe he was content to die for that freedom at the hands of a worthy executioner. He's a showrunner turning in his work badge, now at the mercy of the network.
SAM: (to Chuck) Then I think it's the ending where you're just like us and like all the other humans you forgot about.
DEAN: It's the ending where you grow old, you get sick, and you just die.
SAM: And no one cares. And no one remembers you. You're just forgotten.
CHUCK: Guys... Guys... wait.
Sam, Dean and Jack get into the Impala and drive off.
CHUCK: Guys... Guys! No, wait. G-Guys... Guys, wait! Guys, wait! Guys, wait! Wait, wait, wait! Please wait! Guys!
Maybe they're just punishing the shell that is Chuck, and here as he screams wait, it's not just the grief talking. But Chuck is realizing his own bereavement. He is become like Naomi-who-cried-Wolf. He made himself so untrustworthy that he can't even get through to the boys to sound the alarm.
He’s belatedly realizing that Jack is shackled and doomed to be overtaken by that overwhelming power, covered up and wallpapered, just as Chuck the man (Nephilim?) was. (Just as Castiel was, despite beginning with noble intentions.) Now Jack is an open, unshackled mark. As Amara had her mark of Darkness, now too Chuck has passed on His mark of Light to Jack.

I like to think that, after he left Sam & Dean, Jack-God went back to those woods. Then, he comes up chipperly to deliver the killing blow to Chuck, so that Chuck could never tell anyone the truth. And Chuck becomes like Metatron was to Amara, standing up defiantly to God for the first and only time.
JACK-GOD: Maybe Dean won't kill you, but I will.
CHUCK SHURLEY: Spare them.
JACK-GOD: Eh. Maybe one of them. Sam, I think.
(Chuck looks on in horror)
JACK-GOD: Hey, kid. You're the one who wrote it that way. Don't blame me.
(Chuck can't speak; he's choking now as he lifts into the air)
JACK-GOD: Shame about your body getting destroyed and all. I really, you know, liked living in it.
At least this gift... (points at his face) ...is super cute. Maybe even a little cuter.
But yeah. I can't risk anyone finding you after I (makes a throat motion and a CHHKK noise). You understand.
