Simply because there is not enough (or really any) clear foreshadowing of the consequences for these choices....because the choice itself is held back and sprung at the last moment.... with only the untrustworthy Catalyst (who controls the mass-murdering enemy armada) to explain the consequences.
Hence, a failure to obtain even a foundation from which Shepard might even *begin* to buy in to these concepts.... and even then he probably wouldn't drink that kool-aid.
Not to mention the story is at a time-sensitive juncture and there just isn't any damn time to go over the options, and adequately discuss their consequence.... which again makes the final choice little more than a cheap and all-but-meaningless *guessing exercise* for Shepard. Nope... you just get railroaded into making an uninformed choice that basically rearranges the whole freaking galaxy.
The destroy ending would have been acceptable, and fitting..... but they just *had* to tack on the threat of genocide against the Geth and killing off EDI.... what for? Was that needed for any reason whatsoever? Nope... just shoehorned into that choice to add some illusion of "cost and sacrifice".
If you ask me, Shepard struggling, fighting, bleeding, clawing tooth and nail to drag the whole damn galaxy to unity and watching good friends and respected allies perish in the process is sacrifice enough. Geth genocide and murdering EDI didn't need to be there... and it sucks.... so it shouldnt be there. This was supposed to be a heroic story, no? It certainly followed "The Hero's Journey" format for 99% of the trilogy....
