It is very likely that the Dragonborn entiamorphed with Miraak. Also, the canon ending of Dragonborn (DLC) has The Last Dragonborn replace Miraak as H.Mora's slave.

It is obviously intended he will be stuck in Apocrypha. Keep in mind, TES heroes almost never get happy endings.

Arena- Gets rich, dies famous

Daggerfall- Dies at the end of his quest

Morrowind- Severe emotional trauma, kills friends, disappears- returns and dies in the 5th era (C0DA)

Oblivion- Becomes Sheogorath, likely forgets all of his original personality, and has no clue of who he was. Erased mind.

Skyrim- Eternal Slave

TES doesn't do happy endings very often.
