Games where the silent protagonist should have definitely had a voice

OK this is as much a question but also a bit of a rant. Cause I was replaying Bioshock 1 for old times sakes (and wow can you tell its an early PS3 game, not dissing it though, cause they did a LOT with very little) and oh boy(o) the WYK twist feels undercut by the fact that Jack doesnt have much of an opinion about it.

Im not saying the silent protagonists are inherently invalid as a trope; but it just really puzzles me as to why devs will put their protagonists in scenarios where in-universe the PC should have an emotional reaction but then just doesnt.
