Asexual Shepard - Try it!
Instead of having your Shepard worry about the texture of a pole or the color of a cave entrance, try playing through all 3 games without initiating any romance. Its actually quite refreshing, and it gives you a VERY clear idea of which character Bioware was biased towards in the romance subplot (hint: its blue).

Asexual doesn't equate to aromantic and vice versa, bruh. A platonic playthough would be different on a surface level, but probably not that interesting. Like letting a bunch of people die in me2.

Not exactly. More like, despite your Shepard being totally non-flirty/unromantic throughout, the dialogue from a certain character seems to suggest that he/she wants to start something with you, or already is (could be a bug).

You can be total jerk to Liara entire trilogy and she still wants to bang you? She needs help.

For real fun, leave Liara trapped in ME1 for as long as possible before recruiting her. Her dialogue gets really funny if you leave her in the bubble for most of the game.

Don't have to do asexual playthrough to realise that, liara mourned you in me2, she recovered your body.. that says it all, she's "canon" romance 100%
Even though you put canon in quotes, it's still the inappropriate word in my opinion.

Because the player decides what is canon. That's the whole theme and core of the Mass Effect series, you shouldn't forget it.

What you probably meant to say is that Liara is most attached to Shepard.

Which is not a comparison to other characters because it's not like anyone you met in ME2 or ME3 lost you to death after falling in love with you. So you can't say "Well, Liara is best girl because she did X thing when these characters didn't!" because there's no way to be sure that other characters would or would not have mourned Shepard the same way or done the same things.
