Rory didn't marry Logan at the end of Gilmore Girls because she turned down his proposal, choosing her own uncertain but free future as a journalist over the structured, settled life that marrying into the wealthy Huntzberger family would bring, despite loving him and facing an ultimatum to accept or end things. She felt too young, wanted to explore opportunities on her own, and feared the limitations and societal expectations that marrying into Logan's privileged world would impose, contrasting with her desire for independence.
As Logan explained the activities they do, the paper she might work at, the whole life that they would have, she realized that her freedom, the first true freedom after graduation that she felt in her entire life would again be stripped of her. Not only this but Rory probably had a very flighty viewpoint of marriage.
"Rory Gilmore Syndrome" describes the pressure and burnout experienced by high-achieving "gifted kids," characterized by early perfectionism, reliance on external validation (like grades/mentors), and a subsequent crisis of identity and motivation when facing real-world challenges where things aren't easy, leading to behaviors like dropping out, rebellion, or feeling lost in their early twenties, as seen in Rory's arc in Gilmore Girls. It's about learning turning into performance, burning out from relentless achievement, and struggling with self-worth outside of academic success.
The Huntzberger family's rejection of Rory was not just because of her family background or intellect, but because she aspired to have a career rather than conform to the traditional expectations they held for women.
Why is Mr. Kim, Lane's father, rarely mentioned in Gilmore Girls? According to Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, there wasn't a dramatic need for the presence of Lane's father as the story they were telling was one of a mother-daughter relationship to contrast and parallel Lorelai and Rory's relationship.
She's still married to Zack, is taking care of her twins, and has even kept music in her life by joining a band. I can't help but think if Lane can forge ahead despite all of her unfortunate circumstances, how fantastic could her life have been if the writers had served her just a little bit more good fortune?
The character Dave Rygalski, played by Adam Brody, was part of Gilmore Girls' Season 3. Brody left the series as he was cast in a lead role on another TV series, The O.C. The Gilmore Girls showrunners, the Palladinos, did want Brody to be on the show long term, but Warner Bros.

The father of Rory Gilmore's baby, as revealed in the Gilmore Girls revival A Year in the Life, is heavily implied to be Logan Huntzberger, with costume supervisor Valerie Campbell and creators strongly suggesting it's him, despite not being explicitly confirmed on-screen.
