I have my own theory, but for the heck of it, I want to know, why do you think all the choices involve killing or trying to kill Commander Shepard?

Edit: I'm not talking about the symbolic reason behind it. I'm talking about why the dudes who made the Crucible made it to kill, or try to kill, whoever tried to make A, B, C choice? The lore reason.

If we're keeping strictly in game terms:

I think the reason that Shepard dies in the Destroy ending is mostly just coincidence.  Shepard is part machine now himself and the crucible's beam is indiscriminate.  Though evidently he can survive with high EMS, so the human aspect obviously still plays a large role.

For Control, Shepard must become noncorporeal in order to essentially become the Reaper Collective.  Given he now appears to be the collection of all Reapers, you could probably argue that he's replaced the Catalyst.

Synthesis is a bit trickier.  Solutions like this, while they can be interesting, I think have a fundamental characteristic about them (transcendence) that makes it more difficult to truly understand.  Perhaps the fusion of synthetic and inorganic life requires the breakdown of an organic lifeform into the synthetic process in order to occur?  I admit that sounds weak though haha.
