So what's the point of preserving the resources in the universe if using those resources only means that civilizations will advance - only to destroy themselves?
How are the reapers "incomprehensible" to humans?
Why not preserve historical events and show it to sentient beings instead of hiding it destroying everything?
Their logic seems to circle around the logical fallacy that civilizations will NOT learn from past mistakes and will, no matter what, destroy themselves.
What is this basis if that "opinion"? They're just mad machines stopping all progress because they think progress will automatically lead to negative results.
No Human or alien race will ever be able to understand that they need to die so the galaxy can live, constantly. Because they have self-preservation written into their code and while a few will commit suicide from time to time, the entirety of the race will not, especially in the painful processes that it is done in. That is why it is incomprehensible.
History has shown that history repeats itself, unendingly, because people forget, or move on, or think they won't make the same mistakes.
Just look at all the attempts to understand indoctrination and you'll see everyone always failed anyway.
Our own history shows similar issues of lack of understanding or ignorance towards history.

Also it should be indicated that the Protheans did exactly what the Reapers feared and intentionally at that, as well as being the worst slavers ever. So... it stands to reason that if the Reapers didn't see anything going wrong they might call it off, but I don't think they've ever had a single 50k or so years where the same thing didn't happen.

If a child makes a mistake constantly do you just tell it not do it or do you swap his hand the next time he does it and tell him why?
If you look at galactic civilizations as a child and the Reapers as a parent they swat you (kill you) after you've made a big mistake and then let the next reverbation of you (the next race / child) try again.
The potential for an AI to somehow escape the confines of the relays is too dangerous and more than likely if the Reapers came and hurt you once and you knew what they could do, you'd not want to fear what they can do and so you'd try to rise up against them with a force, and to prevent that, they kill you too.

They will never undestand it because it's not necessary.
"History has shown that history repeats itself, unendingly, because

That's where the reapers could play the biggest role. History repeats itself because of ignorance in this case.
Humans and others do NOT know what has happened in this past.
"Our own history shows similar issues of lack of understanding or ignorance towards history."
It also shows the complete opposite sometimes.
"If a child makes a mistake constantly do you just tell it not do it or
do you swap his hand the next time he does it and tell him why?"
Exactly, reapers do not explain WHY they just destroy. Noone can understand what's happening because the reapers, for no reason at all, do not reveal history to them.
"If you look at galactic civilizations as a child and the Reapers as a
parent they swat you (kill you) after you've made a big mistake and then
let the next reverbation of you (the next race / child) try again."
That's the worst kind of educational system/idea and that's exactly what educational models are trying to prevent in our times. You don't just let a kid go its way if it has wronged once. Quite the opposite, you explain why what it's doing is not responsible.
