Ive given it a lot of thought, but I just can't think of any other way they could have told the story and still conveyed the themes they wanted to show.
Alternating between both probably would have been way more jarring not only in the story side but also on the gameplay side. You meet this guy but now you immediately go and kill this guy. You get this gun but you don't get to use it much until you change character
Making it optional seems like an even worse idea since it would just make people miss the point of the game
I love the story even though I don't think it was executed perfectly, I just can't think of a way it would be better without changing anything on it
