Spoken like someone who hasn't played any of the games.
Actually, I did play all the games. But unlike most of the people that are complaining about how it ended, I don't want to play Mass Effect 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 191, 2,147, 203,474, etc, with it being the same thing over and over again milked for all it's worth.
It was a great trilogy, it was wrapped up, now we move onto the next.
I think you are making two mistakes, the first being they plan and planned on releasing more Mass effect games after initial trilogy. They just won't be directly related to the Shepard story line. Just recently there was a story on gaming sites talking about how the MP in ME3 was actually going to be a standalone FPS multi-player game in the ME universe, set to come out after ME3. Eventually it got scrapped and its remnants thrown into ME3. This is a perfect example.
No one is asking for Shepard's story to be never-ending, (Perhaps some want this, but it's presumptuous to assume all want this) what they are asking for a satisfying conclusion to the story.
You're almost arguing against something no one is arguing for, and has already been decided by EA anyway. People are arguing that the ending sucks, not that the games shouldn't end.
You'll be getting more Mass Effect games whether they are wanted or not. Just like they said before ME3 though, They will probably be unrelated to Shepard's story-line. They actually said they WONT be related to Shepard's storyline, but considering this situation and how they decide to handle it it's possible that could change with some DLC or something.
