I do - if there were a "golden" ending, all the others would be demoted to merely being failures, rather than difficult choices. It's like the suicide mission - sure you CAN get a bunch of squadmates killed, but doing so becomes attributed to incompetence on Shepard's part rather than any true impossibility of the mission itself. It's even become a joke among the players: "Jacob cheated on me?? Guess who's going in the vents" etc.
The Collectors and their base of operations went from being the scariest aliens in the galaxy to bumbling henchmen in the span of one game. I can't blame Bioware for wanting the Reapers, the cosmic horror big bads of the whole trilogy, to be afforded a bit more gravity than that.
