You keep telling yourself that everyone agrees with you.

Also, by the way, your attempted simile demonstrates complete ignorance when it comes to Mass Effect lore and stands in complete contradiction to what you're trying to say. Geth are synthetics, and synthetics cannot be indoctrinated. The geth willingly side with the Reapers in both cases—the heretic geth and the "normal" geth. The geth may ultimately benefit from the Reapers, as they can use the Reaper code to upgrade themselves. If they are wiped out, it is due to not having the boon that is the Reaper code in order to defend themselves from a group motivated by ignorant bigotism.

BioWare has repeatedly stated that the ending they gave is the ending they wanted to give. They demonstrated that when the Extended Cut just tacked on a bunch of extra scenes for the people who refused to acknowledge what they saw earlier in the game unless it was reiterated in the last ten minutes. As much as you would like to convince yourself otherwise, BioWare wanted to make an ending that wasn't exactly what you wanted, and they don't care if someone who waves around their ignorance of their series's lore complains about the ending not happening exactly the way they wanted.
