I've read someone that Destroy may have been meant as essentially the "selfish" ending, so it's the one where you get a Shepard lives scene thrown in there. It might also explain the nonsensical nature of that scene - the idea being that people who choose Destroy will simply go "YAY IM ALIVE" without trying to figure out how.

Comes across as condescending and smug, to say the least, but it's not like that would be out of character for Bioware (or some of its writers, anyway) at this point.
