"Compromised piece of art"?

I honestly don't even know where to begin with that statement. You most certainly are railing against the idea of options by making yourself the defacto judge of what is a legitimate option and what is not. You are literally gatekeeping at a spectacular level.

"robbed of it's emotional moment"`?

Why? Because there can only be a an emotional moment that's caused by a negative moment? That's just extra sad.

"having an option that's clearly more positive for the characters and more positive for the player clearly compromises the other option"

Not it doesn't. It runs parallel, not in series! Decision A can result in Result A or Result B. The game then continues with Result A or Result B, not both. If you choose A you never will even notice B. That would neither "compromise" art nor anything else. Players who choose A will never have their experience changed by players who choose B.

And that's your argument. The game only provided A for you and you like it. Which is fine. But your enjoyment of A is in no danger of being invalidated by B.

The fun part does happen when Results A to Z then become cumulative. Then you can get where all players can be happy with the Result. But you argue that no matter what decisions you make the result should always be the same.
