L'art pour l'art is actually a rather modern concept. Da Vinci was paid to sculpt/paint. Does that make him any less of an artist than, let's say, van Gogh?
Anyway, this is a discussion that can be drawn out indefinitely so I'd rather not go there, especially since I largely agree with everything you wrote. I didn't grasp the extent of my disappointment, either, until I took a look at the other endings. ME is a wonderful series that collapses under its own weight during the last 20 or so minutes. However, I wouldn't want them to change the ending. Instead, I'd like additionally DLC to explain wtf just happened. If this doesn't happen, I'll just go with the indoctrination theory.
