Here's the problem: these are not "legitimate criticisms". Not only do they overlook facts that are presented in the story itself, it ignores that the current cycle is not the only cycle that has happened. It doesn't consider that previous cycles may have gone differently. It doesn't consider what the civilization that created the Catalyst may be like. And it ignores the fact that there is nothing "God"-like about the Catalyst, that the Catalyst is a flawed being and almost certainly meant to be seen as a flawed being.

And it's not just "a few bad apples". I've taken a look through the numerous anti-ending blogs here on the Wiki. And almost every single one of them ignores major aspects of the series/third game and/or makes assumptions about the ending that is based on no evidence whatsoever or even ignoring everything that disproves it. I've seen countless attacks against the ending, and just about every single one was petty or simply wrong.

People repeating the same things in ignorance of canon does not make their beliefs reality. If you were concerned about being right, you'd correct this blog post so that it doesn't claim that the Reapers are "Synthetics who aim to kill all intelligent Organics". But merely insisting that they're right seems to be the preferred method of ending-bashers.
