The cortex of their brain releated to empathy isnt as developed as the other races, even the blacks have more developed than them, gooks cant into feelings, thefore they cant write good endings.

The way serialization works in popular manga mangazines doesn't really facilitate planned-out stories. First your manga needs to have a popular enough intro in order to survive with other competing new manga in the magazine, so that's where all your effort goes into. Some mangaka (most infamously being Axeman, AKA the Spy x Family mangaka) have to go through several oneshots before the editors and audience deem it good enough for a serialization. Then if your series isn't popular enough to get enough volume/merch sales, it can get axed at any moment, meaning all that effort you spent into planning a story gets thrown out of the window because you now have only 4 chapters to end your shit. This is why most mangaka only plan in the short-term until the next arc.
The main overarching goal of a MC tends to be vaguely distant yet flexible enough that it allows for a variable amount of arcs to get to that point, so it can go on longer if it's popular enough, but also be able to have a (somewhat) fitting ending quickly if it isn't. There lies another problem, if the manga gets really popular (like One Piece, DBZ, Shougeki no Souma), then editors want to make it go on for as long as possible to milk the most out of its popularity. This puts a massive strain of the quality of writing because there's only so much you can do with a single character before repeating plot beats and character development, and for battle manga it tends to result in power creep. JJBA does neatly avoid this by resetting the cast for each part, else we would be still be dealing with a half-Kars, half-Quincy, half-Josuke Jonathan Joestar with several Stands.
If you're famous enough like Junji Ito or Jiro Taniguchi, then more magazines will be willing to accept you writing short serializations because your name draws in new readers.

As opposed to western stories with shit endings?

Even better if they write the ending first then work their way back to the beginning of the story. Making up the story as you go is a terrible way to write a story and will often cause a writer's block.
Editors usually tear apart ideas or drafts even if you have a clear idea of what you want to do. Look at WN to LN adaptions, those are completed works, far more than just a pitch, that get heavily altered from the rough to final draft.

Makes me wonder why not just publish their work online free from the pressure from the editorial bureaucracy. Just put some ads, run subscriptions or donations and maybe sponsors. Don't authors get shit pay anyways since publishers take a massive cut and pay pennies for their work?

10% of volume sales.
Overlord sells 500K per volume, for 1200 yen digital and 4950 yen print.
That doesn't count merchandise, anime, and manga royalties.
There's no fucking way someone would stay free if their story was offered for pickup.

One got it right half a century ago, but those that followed learned nothing from it.
Mason Young
Kinda referring to manga authors where they're barely allowed to sleep and could get axed anytime if their sales drop under a certain treshold.

No money, no audience.
Editors aren't even a bad thing.
