Everything about ME3's story felt designed to make Synthesis the 'good' ending, like yeah it's weird and doesn't make sense and arguably goes against the first two games but that's clearly the one that was written to be the 'true' one imo. Destroy is just way too harsh with killing the Geth right after they're suddenly free, and EDI right after she's accepted being alive. Control is silly, why have Illusive Man die if you can just follow his plan anyway. Reject is a thematically consistent one I like in theory but it's also clearly tossed in just to placate fans who hated the original choices (First time playing Extended Cut I tried shooting Starchild and was pleasantly surprised that that immediately takes you right into Reject lol).
