I think it's far more likely that Control will be used as the default ending for any future games. With Control, you could have a situation where the Reapers helped reconstruct the Mass Relays and repair the damage they caused, but Shepard was ultimately unable to maintain control of them. Now our new hero has to defeat the Reaper threat fully. Plus, the other synthetic lifeforms (EDI, the Geth, etc.) would still be around, and they're really interesting aspects of the ME fiction that I doubt the writers want to completely abandon.

Synthesis just seems weird. Who wants to play a game where every character is an organic/machine hybrid with glowing green circuitry on their faces?
