I didn’t say it was clever; this is Lucas and he is not in any way subtle. Convoluted at times but not subtle. So yeah the good guys destroying the bad guys and that being the end of it tracks pretty well. In fact unless it’s a Disney retcon the whole idea of balancing the force by equalizing light and dark force users was never taken seriously by the fandom since it makes no sense and disregards all non Jedi/sith force users. One of the few ideas from the sequels that was decent is that getting rid of both Jedi and sith, eliminating rigid doctrine and just letting force users use the force on their own is what brings balance, which I guess is the canon take? Anyway if the prophecy was about numbers of sith and Jedi Anakin fulfilled that prophecy right before Yoda died, assuming Yoda and Luke were the last living Jedi. But it all falls apart with Jedi in hiding. Basically none of it makes sense.
