The answer to this question isn't terribly complicated like a lot of people seem to want to make it. It's simply that most people hate those endings. They were a mess of bad writing and confused lore. Bioware clearly recognises this in private (I doubt we'll ever have public acknowledgement of this) but by setting it in a new galaxy, is refusing to deal with those problems head on.
Read the plot from the leak. If it's true that we're searching for artefacts from an ancient race in order to further mankind's agenda, if they bothered to re-write those endings, you could easily have that plot based in the Milky Way and have it about an arms race over the gathering of Reaper tech. You don't ignore the consequences of that war, you don't side step the issue of those endings, you don't have to break your own lore in order to get you to where you want to go and in the process, you don't upset a large proportion of your own game's community.
