Terminating the message using chunked encoding is optional. The client
is always free to close the connection if it prefer to abandon the
connection and open a new one.

The point of terminating the message using chunked encoding is that it
allows the connection to be kept for the next message, and is a MAY as
it's entirely optional and up to the client to decide to do this instead
of closing the connection. But it MUST do one of the two if terminating
the message.

Right.. should be last-chunk without a trailer.
