The majority of those are joke or bad endings for going away from the where the story wants you to go or failing important story events prematurely.
To give you an example of one of the joke endings, if you die in the factory prologue that's covered in the first episode, the game gives you an ending off of that saying the machine lifeforms won and the credits roll.
That's not to say they're meaningless, because some of them are definitely entertaining


If you ignore those then there's only 5 main endings, which were more or less from one singular storyline. For example, B is the same ending as A, just from a different character's perspective with more context.
Endings C, D, and E exist because the Ending A/B are not actually endings and the story continues beyond that.
They may be called "endings" but they're not necessarily branching routes or anything like that.
