Shepard is a self-insert to an extent.
But they still have an established character, based on the options that the developers give the player.

Something that completely comes out of left field and is quite obviously written to fit the author's interests stops being "Shepard" and starts being the author.
They might as well just overthrow Shepard and make themselves commander of the Normandy.
But of course, then they wouldn't have the whole "Shepard can be me! Even if Shepard has never been shown praying to a cross or speaking in a Southern accent before! NOT A MARY SUE! IS CANON!!" excuse to hide behind.

Ah yeah. I get that there's a line, but I don't really have a problem with personal canon as long as they get the baseline right. I just feel like a lot of people argue the "that's your OC not Shep/Hawke/whoever" because they have their own idea of the char rather than it being wildly off base.
