Something really simple like that is all they needed.
They didn't need to get all complicated & stupid about it. Just imagine if Lucas did this at the end of Star Wars. Luke, now that you're at the end you need to make a choice:
1. You can destroy the Death Star but as a result you'll die & all life in the galaxy will be destroyed.
or
2. You can take control of the Death Star but you'll die & all life in the galaxy will be destroyed.
Utterly and completely false analogy, not to mention a fanwank ending (as ANY victory that involves "we just blow up the Reapers with our big guns" utterly discredits the Reapers as a threat). As much as I may have wanted closure, I have no sympathy for the folks that would accept nothing less than "Shepard retires with his blue girlfriend and little blue babies" as a satisfactory ending. A LOT of the ending outrage (not specifically here, but in general) basically amounts to "WAAAAH! I can't live happily ever after with my space waifu!"
Anyway, if you want to make an accurate analogy, it'd be the end of Return of the Jedi, and the options would be:
1. You can destroy the Sith and the Empire, but in so doing many of the people that fought alongside you will die as well. You MIGHT live.
2. The Jedi/Rebellion can take control of the Sith and the Empire, but you'll die in the process.
3. The Jedi and Sith will merge, causing everyone to have a little Sith in them, but everyone (except you) will live.
NONE of the Mass Effect 3 endings involve "all life in the galaxy being destroyed." That's what happens if you DON'T make a choice. If you got the idea "all life in the galaxy" was destroyed in the endings, then you either completely misunderstood them or weren't paying a lick of attention.
