They forget that Tali and Garrus could die in ME2, meaning that the Devs see the two characters as expendable.
To be fair, apart from (I believe) Shepard, Joker, and Liara every character we've seen now is potentially expendable. So it does mean
something to say that Garrus and Tali were in both games so far in their full roles, though I'd be the first to agree it doesn't necessarily mean they're some kind of canon squadmates or something like that.

Not sure why, but I've come to picture this board as a bunch of different groups huddling behind covers while throwing pies at each other... and then there are the occasional group who just sits and eat their pies instead and just enjoy the company.
I think it comes from seeing any effort to ensure one's own favorite character makes a full appearance in ME3 is coming at the opportunity cost of somebody's else's character being included, and thus being reduced to a cameo. So in a sense, it is reasonable (because it very well could be true), but it's also kind of sad to see the animosity at times.
