Why would you do that? Reduce the enjoyment of a game that people new to the franchise might like as simply a competent TPS/RPG space epic. Better I think to play Andromeda and then go back and play the trilogy.

That logic is backwards. If you want to get someone to like a series, you don't introduce them to the worst game in the series. they're better off being introduced to what got people to like the series in the first place.  Andromeda is not a competent TPS/RPG space epic by any means. What happens if this is the first game out of the series they play but get turned off by it and don't want nothing to do with the series at all? They're better off waiting til this game is patched as much as can be and playing the earlier games first.

I dunno about you, but to me a 70+ game is a competent game for its genre. People are only shitting on it as being a terribly horrible, no good, very bad game because it compares unfavourably to the trilogy. But in isolation the game is by all accounts a competent TPS/RPG space epic. So the best order of play for a Mass Effect noob is to experience a ME:A and then move on to the superior ME trilogy.
