The Catalyst, the Reapers and their original races had the ability to genetically meld people into a giant machine and maintain their minds, but couldn't find a way to try and synthesize themselves nor did they try.

Suddenly a machine that was built to destroy the Reapers has a built in ability to rework DNA and give DNA to synthetic life. The civilizations that came before that helped design the Crucible, why would they have this function built in? They would have never seen the need for this since they probably weren't aware of the Reaper motivations given that Shepard is the first organic to make it that far.

Synthesis is really pushed as being a fairy tale ending with everyone living happily ever after (except Shepard of course). Shepard lives on in everybody though.

They were really trying to force this ending even though Mass Effect's main theme really wasn't the synthetic/organic conflict as the Catalyst describes it. Aside from how it is the most unbelievable ending, the meaning it conveys is just awful. Looking at it as they want you to is that Synthetics are alive just like organics but you can really make them alive on the same physical level. When put in context with the rest of the games and the Catalyst's purpose, it pretty much says that people no matter what diverse people will never accept each other unless forced to be exactly the same.
