Well, what did you expect? It's established in the first hour of the game that the Reapers can't be beaten conventionally, and then the plot hammers home that the Crucible is the best shot you have at winning. When you meet the Catalyst, it tells you the different ways you can put the Crucible to use and the implications of the different uses, leaving you to make a final informed decision; I don't see how that can be considered as "forcing" you to do anything. If you don't the implications of the different methods (or, more likely, you just want to spite the character you don't like), you can flat out refuse to use the thing the whole galaxy's betting on to end the war for them and accept the consequeces of that decision. It's true that refusal is the only choice you truly own, but did you expect to get rewarded for flat out refusing to take action, when you're the only one in a position to act?
