Exactly -- the chance for a good ending should be there, but not default and certainly not the only ending. From "happy" (galaxy burning, yay...) to, well, lose, in-between there we have "The Ultimate Sacrifice".
My thoughts, any way. It was sold as being our story, was it not?
This. ME is about choices. The idea that Shepard has to die is just as wrong as the idea that he has to live. The endings should range from perfect victory (or as perfect as it can be considering the scale of the war) to horrible defeat and everything in between. ME2 got it right and that was the middle part of the trilogy, so they had to account for import variables for ME3. ME3 is the final part. They should be able to give us diverse endings like they promised.
