The main criticism of the NCR is that it's a dying overextended Empire that can't take care of its own people and enjoys the occasional genocide. First as tragedy then as Fallout New Vegas
If the alternative is that world just playing Mad Max forever, I'm supporting the best chance it has at a halfway decent, stable unified governance/society, warts and all.
The real alternative is the axed Followers of the Apocalypse questline that would have made an actual independent Vegas that lasted beyond the courier's lifespan possible.
to be fair aside from the unavoidable "and some people died during the battle :(" slide, the independent ending that made it to release doesn't seem all that bad either. i just wish the aesthetics of the independent ending were less "anarchy fuck yeah" and more "the conditions were right for a near autonomous bastion city of the wastes"
