"The sequence would have seen the player lose control of Commander Shepard, revealing that he or she had actually been indoctrinated by the Reapers. This ending was eventually cut for technical reasons, as the team was having a hard time making the gameplay mechanic work alongside dialogue choices."

Now if you read what it says it doesn't say indoctrination was scrapped. It says that losing control of Shepard while having the conversation SHOWING indoctrination was scrapped. It is the second side of interpretation to the sentence. You all need to stop being so fatalistic.
