The TDF finishes with several laps of the Champs Elysees. It is always exciting as the attacks go out and are chased down. The green jersey usually comes down to that last sprint. It's not as if there is not competition. These guys have averaged over 100 miles per day of hard riding for 18 days. Would riding hard for another 100+ miles make the victory more satisfying for you? As long as everyone knows that the race for gc is decided after the penultimate stage, ie after 18 stages instead of 19, does that make it any less valid?
