Perhaps. I guess it's just not my cup of tea. The whole story is made somewhat pointless at the end when Joel kills the doctors to save Ellie and he doesn't even tell her the truth. All their bonding becomes meaningless as the player isn't even given the choice as to whether they'll sacrifice Ellie or not.

Again, I just disagree. I completely understood Joel's choice.

No, it was Joel's choice, not yours as a gamer. Giving the player a choice would have ruined the ending for me.
