So a series ends without being cancelled when the creative team of that show makes the decision to end it.James Gunn will end the series because of the new DCU. Furthermore, don't think that this series would be like any other DC series on the CW, it ALWAYS showed that it would have 3 or 4 seasons, james gunn praised it a lot and always said that the series could have 5 seasons, but with the new future of the DCU arriving and confusion at Warner, it was likely that she wouldn't even get a fourth season. The series will end on its best note, there was no need to stretch it any further.
When the network (The CW, in this case) or the studio (Warner Bros. Television in this case) decides to end the show despite the creative team's wishes, the show is cancelled.
In this case, the network (The CW) has decided to end the show. That's the definition of a show being cancelled. There is no reason to believe that Gunn and his plans for the new DCU had any effect on The CW's decision to cancel but even if Gunn - as a Warner Bros. executive - had made the decision, that would still be cancelled.
The other stuff you say about how the show being always planned to be shorter is just ficiton. That was not always the plan.
