So the ending is capable of forcing people to think a certain way as to make their decision. People who play the game must take the Catalyst's views into consideration first and foremost when deciding their option.

Again, you are simply demonstrating that you are choosing to focus on the Catalyst's problem instead of the reason you're before the Catalyst in the first place and ignoring that the Catalyst is helping you decide on how to stop the Reaper cycles.
