It's an interesting question, never occurred to me at the time. It would've been nice if only so I could say sorry to her before choosing destroy.

But my question is this, do you think EDI eould have have actually been able to give you any particularly useful information from her remote location? Given that they didn't even know what the crucible would do when they built it. I imagine she'd be able to say something like "We're reading massive amounts of energy going into the Citadel". But I have to wonder if she'd be able to tell you whether the Catalyst was telling you the truth or not about the choices.


She was able to analyze the human reaper in the Collector Base fairly extensively.  Plus, as an AI construct herself, she may have even been able to fight against the Catalyst more directly (along with possibly finding out where the Catalyst is physically housed/how the Crucible works/etc.)


Now that would have been awesome. And IMO more satisfying. Imagine EDI re-purposing the Catalyst to provide a different range of outcomes as opposed to Shepard having to jump the shark?

If the theme that Bioware wanted to drive home through the body of the Catalyst was Human and Synthetic conflict was inevitable hence the need for the Reapers, then Synthetic (EDI) and part-Synthetic-Human (Shepard) cooperation to end this cycle negates that construct entirely.
