"We believe in our team's artistic integrity"
There's that word again. I don't think it means what you think it means.
People are too used to dime-a-dozen books, movies, and musical pop artists who think that because they signed on to three record labels and are a house-hold name that their "art" contains no flaws.
Believing in "artistic integrity"... it just means that Casey Hudson and BioWare believe that they made no mistakes, and that the ending is perfect the way it is. It also means that they believe they were completely honest and provided exactly what they said they would.
As far as the original endings are concerned, they did not deliver what they were claimed to bring. You did not take Earth back, there weren't "different" endings, as they all look almost exactly the same, and there were several major plot holes. Also, I think most of us agree that the endings are FAR from perfect.
