I think what Jessica Merizan supposedly says makes a lot of sense. I've been saying that for awhile too. Synthesis is the only way they can create a new game chronologically after ME3, and still write in an explanation for the other two choices without completely negating them.
-To make a ME4 game that plays off destroy would completely negate the other two decisions, same with control.. It would make it like the other choices never even happened.
But using synth as a cannon ending, they leave the possibility that even if you chose destroy or control to end your Shepard saga, synthesis occurred much later anyway. As the Catalyst states, it has become "inevitable". I think that's a really smart way to proceed with ME4.
I'd buy it.
That would explain why the catalyst can agree with Both Destroy and control even if it favors Synthesis, it has realized it will happen anyway and that the galaxy has already changed and evolved. It's work is done, you may pick which ever you like, the fast the medium or the slow path to synthesis.
Destroy is the slow way to evolve but it will still happen eventualy, Control will make it slow and controlled allowing people to accept the gift when they are ready and people will accept it once they realize how much of an advantage their friends and colleagues have over them if they want to stay employed in the current jobs market. Control is the medium fast path to synthesis.
And Synthesis is the immediate upgrade of the galaxy. Within seconds of synthesis they can argue the pros and cons and ehtics and all other differences they might have had that would otherwise have taken decades to resolve.
And there we have it.
Edited sidenote, not lending any credibility to the OP's sources or if it's current material, might have been dropped after considering the possibility if it ever was one.
Nice points about the eventuality of synthesis.
I provided my source "estenbanus' brother" and I have no idea whether it's true or not. I even said, I took the scissors estenbanaus left and am running with them.
But, I have to say I personally found the idea he presented for a thread a topic for fascinating conjecture which is why I created it and wrote "A Synthetics New Universal Order" which btw, no one has commented on

I mean I spent a whole five minutes of my life ripping it off from the Neocons New World Order PNAC manifesto and adapting it to synthesis; to me that was the clincher on how I personally felt about synthesis being BW's canon ending. Because really how can anyone like what the Neocons have done to America. Clearly, the Synthetics will travel beyond their galaxy to other galaxies harvesting err... spreading their synthetic views until the entire Universe is synthesized.
A Synthetics New Universal Order
As the Mass Effect story draws to a close, the Synthetic race stands as the Universe’s pre-eminent power. Having led the races to victory in the War of Harvest, Synthetics face an opportunity and a challenge: Do Synthetics have the vision to build upon the achievements of past races?
Do Synthetics have the resolve to shape a new Universal Order favorable to the Synthetics principles and interests?
In response to these questions, Synthetics state their aim to instruct the entire Universe of "lessons" learned from our War of Harvest and our Galactic history, drawing the following "four consequences" for Synthetics now and in the future:
·we need to increase defense spending significantly if we are to carry out our Universal responsibilities today and modernize our armed forces for the future;
·we need to find, build and strengthen our ties to Universal allies and to challenge regimes hostile to our interests and values;
·we need to promote the cause of Universal political and economic freedom; based on Synthesis [and]
·we need to accept responsibility for Synthetics unique role in preserving and extending a Universal Order friendly to our security, our prosperity, and our principles.
