The Citadel blows and doesn't destroy Earth. Normandy crashes on an intact planet. So the only two planets we see where relays blow aren't destroyed. You really figured that those two were just magic exceptions?
Crashing an asteroid into a relay causes an uncontrolled release of energy. Using the Crucible on a relay does not; the energy is tapped and used to perform work. Highly specific work.
In theory, yes. Just because something happens on scene does not equate to plausibility, hence the term plot hole. Say we are shown Shepard breathing in outer space in her casual wear. By your logic, because we have witnessed this, it can happen despite it not making a lick of sense. Exposition is a necessary component if one intends to alter a previously established plot point. All we know of the relays is when one is destroyed, it goes supernova, which itself is a retcon because in Mass Effect, the Mu Relay withstood a supernova.
How do we know the Crucible would not have a similar effect? In fact, the cinematic show the relay engulfed in a massive explosion and later displays an aftershock visual on the galaxy map. The only way we may have known beforehand is through accepting the Catalyst's flawed logic. Alas, he never even mentions this nor does Shepard bring it up.
As for stranded, unless you want to headcanon that Normandy went on some complicated multiple-relay journey before the relays blew, they're somewhere within the Charon relay's range. That's not more than a few weeks travel.
Disregarding the relay qualms. How would the Normandy leave the planet? It was severely damaged and no one knew of its location. It may be a few weeks travel, assuming the Normandy could fly again.
Bio tweeted that you had a bad interpretation because you did have a bad interpretation.
Yes, our interpretation was so bad BioWare decided to
retcon the whole thing. That makes perfect sense.
