The thing about the metanarrative is that the more you fight it, the more it pulls you in. Pretty much every attempt the player could make to deny blame is mirrored by Walker in some way. Even saying the game isn't real was accounted for by a moment where Walker looks into the camera to say it.

Conversely, if you just accept that shit happened and you pulled the trigger, this doesn't happen. You remain an observer of Walker, rather than his accomplice.
