I think sometimes when we have an isolated experience, it's meaning lasts for us. For example, teens who go to Mexico to build a house for homeless one time in their life are much more affected by the experience than the teens who live by the border and go there every summer, sometimes for work, sometimes for play.
The ending with Boo's character being held in tact, and the memory of his impact left imprinted on Scout is significant. I believe it has created more value for her regarding who he was and what he stands for. Had they become ongoing friends, the moment would not have been near as significant.
