"Instead I got the same thing a guy who beat just ME3 could get if he half-***ed it"

Really?

Quick calculating tells me that, without imports from the previous games and DLC, the highest obtainable Military Strength rating is a little over 6000. Cut that in half due to 50% Galactic Readiness (because "half-***ing" implies doing as little as possible, we'll assume that the metaphorical "guy" wouldn't play multiplayer, Datapad, or Infiltrator). And since you specifically used the word "half", let's say that this "guy" got half of the available War Assets. That would come out to roughly 1500 EMS.

Hooray, worst Destroy ending! And hooray, crushing anti-ending ignorance!
