The Curse doesn't give you a happy ending, though. It can only take a large amount of people to the Land Without Magic, while freezing time in all of the other lands.

It's only called a Happy Ending when in relation to Regina and Rumple, because that WAS their happy ending. Ripping everyone away from everything they knew (Regina) and being in the Land Without Magic (Rumple). But the effect of the Curse in and of itself does not produce a happy ending. Like it wouldn't have given Ursula her singing voice back, or Ingrid her sisters, or Zelena a life as a princess, y'know?
