To me, it makes sense they would take the descicion. It is the last season after all, and what better way to go than with a big old bang, this case, the bang is pitching the brother against the ultimate foe, God, with him being Omnipotent after all.

And I do not think it is entirely out of character, after Season 5, the way they characterized God has alaways been... gray to say the least. They never really gave him nefarious qualities, but they never made him a saint either. They always meant for him to be Chuck. But since they changed writers (with the og creator of the show taking a back seat), you can notice that the direction they sent God changed drastically when Season 10 arrived in comparison with Season 5.

Is it a good show narritively to have God snap so quickly and be revealed as a villain in just one episode? Nope, that was a terrible descicion, and they should have set up God as the ultimate villain a bit better through the season. Yes, they hinted at it with Michael and such, but they didn't give us God til the last second...

To me it is two things: One, they always, ever since they got their hands in the show after season 5, maybe around S10 and S11, they wanted to make him a villain, the ultimate last villain to defeat, and inmortal nigh omnipotent being. And two, it is a easy way to explain all the  'bad seasons' as just God's writing game,in other words, everything, or almost everything, in the show happened because God wanted it to happen, not because he was taking a vacation or was blissful
