Reed also lied to you, and would kill you if ordered.
The President also lied to you, and will kill you the second you're either no longer useful or considered a loose end.
Every. Single. Character. Is lying to you, and will either kill you or leave you to die if it benefits them.
There are no good options.
Choosing one bad option, over any of the others, is simply a result of the limitations of the game not allowing you to tell all of them to fuck off (which VtM Bloodlines gave you a route to do, given it's a similar situation where most characters are going to fuck you over).
People made choices between the bad options because the developers disallowed the obvious option to go on a mass killing spree and wipe the slate clean of everyone that was going to fuck you over.
The closest you get is in the main game and leaving the city with the nomads, but the beginning of the nomad origin in the game shows you even a nomad clan will fuck you over.
The devs gave V the power to literally irradicate everyone in the city that's in their way, and then didn't let them do it because MUH REALISTIC STORY TELLING as if people don't crash out and start butchering people IRL.
