Why did Shepard insist on gathering support to take back Earth? Why was Earth so much more important than Palaven? Strategically, liberating the most advanced military force in the galaxy first makes more sense. But Shepard wanted to liberate Earth first.
Except it doesn't matter, because when the Mass Relays blow, there won't be an Earth. Or a Palaven. Or a Tuchanka. Etc, etc.
As curufinwe03 mentioned, they have approximately 5 hours to evacuate Sol before the supernova obliterates them. The fleets in space can escape, but they cannot evacuate the population on Earth in that time. How many people are on Earth during this time period? 7 billion?
Assuming they do escape the mass relay supernova, they are now derelict in space. They have no homeworlds to return to. Everyone planetside is dead. Every single living thing is reduced to nebula material. No one is going to thank Shepard. No one is going to think it's preferable to have blown up every single relay, every single homeworld, in order to destroy the Reapers.
