I'm not sure which youtube videos you are referring to, and perhaps they are somewhat over-the-top in terms of being overly invested in the fictional world.

However, the complaint that they wanted a happy ending where they could settle down with their LI is not, in my opinion, and invalid argument. The construction of the ME games, and a large part of the appeal of the games, was that your could identify with the main character and engage in something that sort of seemed like relationships with other characters in the game. This is a significant part of what made these games different than a run-of-the-mill first person shooter. Furthermore, both ME1 and ME2 had themes of building up the relationships with the other members of your team in order to save the universe, and the team itself. Given this history to the series, and the fact that this is one of the significant aspects of the game that makes it stand out, the argument that the final game should allow for the logical conclusion of that theme seems to me to be entirely reasonable.
