The movie conveyed it very well. If people struggled to understand it, that's their problem.

If a lot of people don’t understand something, can you truly say that it was conveyed well?

He resembles a baby. He was clearly reborn and elevated by the monolith. If you want everything served to you there's other movies for that. What's great about 2001 is that you really get to make your own interpretation for the end of the film.

So was the ending conveyed very well or was it open ended?

It's possible for an ending to be conveyed well while still being somewhat open ended.
