That's exactly it. The choices were implemented with no real purpose other than to give us the illusion of choice. Shepard is how we make him/her, but also has his own personality. There are some things that Bioware doesn't let us decide. The fact that Control was never an option for Shepard was well stated throughout the entire game.
He also throughout the game, and especially the end, says that freedom and individuality is what makes organics great. So let's look at that.
Control- Shepard goes entirely against what he's been saying the whole game, controlling the Reapers is too much power for any single person or race. Therefore is not an option.
Synthesis- 30 seconds before choosing, and throughout the whole series, Shepard says that freedom, choice, and individuality is what it means to be organic. Choosing synthesis takes those away from everyone in the Galaxy. It goes against what Shepard has stood for throughout the 3 games. Therefore it is not an option.
Destroy- Shepards main goal is to destroy the Reapers, it is his purpose throughout all 3 games. It IS the ONLY OPTION.
When they made Synthesis and Control as options, they completely disregarded everything they wrote up until that point, simply for the sake of having A, B, C endings. So what does this mean? It means that whoever wrote the ending, lost sight of what this story was about, for the sake of "Speculation."
Theres also the fact that the Reapers have said they are beyond human comprehesion or any other species for that matter. So it would seem as if you were going the control route you'd have to know/want to know what exactly you are controlling. Is it their will? Ther way of thinking? the entire reaper army? I have no clue to be honest.
Also as you said the goal was clear: stop the reapers. In ME1 you saw the effect indoctrination had and how dangerous it could be, so that right there among many was one reason to stop them.
In ME2 they were liquifying people for a proto-reaper and at the time no one knew why, but if humans were being turn to goop no good could come out of it, so again they had to be stopped.
And in ME3 they once again come to wreck peoples **** up and turn alot of them in abmonations and slaves and things far worse. I remember reading the codex of the harvester ships and how they would keep people away so that the agonizing screams of people being melted would'nt scare the other indoctrinated people off.
That really unsettled me and made it even greater Sheaprd to stop them. Even if in their own mind they thought they were doing the galaxy good, the way they saw to do it was horrifying. Most people in shepards situation would do their utmost to protect as many people/species as possible and put an end to this cycle, even if the risks later on could come back.
They had killed far too many to just be controlled and for Shep topretend all those meltings/mergings never happened.
Which brings up Synthesis. As you said it was the theme in ME of what makes us who we are as a species. each of us has our own philosphies, ideas, ways of thinking (even if wrong) but it makes us who we are.
Now we get to be they same... YAY!!!!!! no diversity, no uniquness, just one single half and half lifeform. Oh and theres the fact that no one gets a say in this, nor does Shep argue that he can't just go changing people all willy nilly, against their consent or hell WITHOUT it.
So the only option (despite the reprecussions) is Destroy, it was the end goal and while it feels like a waste as far as EDI and the Geth go (unless they actaully do live and thats fact and not speculation) they reapers have done too much damge for me to even think about the other two.
Destroy is my middle finger to the reapers and that bastard catalyst
