It's pretty stupid to even have an Illuminati ending in this game. They're the driving antagonists of the plot (with Darrow being the main one, in a sense), and Jensen went through the whole game precisely because of the machinations of the group. Turning a blind eye to all the screwed up things that the Illuminati did both to him and the world (albeit indirectly, as per their MO) just doesn't fit.

The only reason why it fit the first game was because it was made clear that it was Majestic 12 acting independently, and against the Illuminati. Therefore, JC had all the more reason to assume Morgan Everett could be trustworthy, because they worked together to stop Bob Page.
