I think it was Kasparov who said that the Berlin is a rich middle game and not an ending.... If it isn't to your taste, avoiding it with d3 is a serious option.

I never said that I did not like the Berlin defense. I just pointed out that so many gms go for this drawing line, including nepo and hikaru.
