The Beacon on Mars is structurally similar to the ones found on Eden Prime and Thessia as well as Javik's Memory Shard; that, coupled with the Watcher's claims that Beacons were the main source of comunication in the empire(so, obviously, they can be used for things other than warnings about the Reapers), highly suggests the protheans used this singular form of data storage. The fact that the warnings against the Reapers can only be fully understood by those with the Cypher, doesn't mean it is impossible to acquire other type of information through different means. Which the asari, humans, batarians all did. The squadmates are just a way for the game to make it clear to the player what the asari were doing.
Tevos is unwilling to speak openly to Shepard. She obviously knew it was a Prothean Beacon but she still choses to refer to it as "artifact" so, her word is not reliable.
It doesn't fit with what Anderson said in ME1: "On Eden Prime, we discovered some kind of beacon. It was Prothean." If there'd been a beacon that gave information to humans, he would have said something like "On Eden Prime, we discovered a Prothean beacon, like the one we found on Mars." The Mars archives themselves, from what we see, don't seem to have any beacons at all, and the dialogue in ME1 speaks of this beacon as being something entirely new. And none of the information that Shepard caught from the Beacon was comprehensible except in the vaguest of terms; technological schematics would have been completely impassible. And even if you're discounting Tevos, consider that the Thessia beacon pops out Vendetta immediately upon being activated; Vendetta has plenty of information, but it all pertains to anti-Reaper activity, and no one who could understand it could possibly miss the whole purpose of its existence.
And the batarians turned into the equivalent of North Korea. If you
don't accept Council law or are thrown out, you are doomed to poverty as
a species. By law, hoarding Prothean tech is a very serious crime. The
asari broke that law repeatedly in an attempt to stay top dog. Were the
galaxy not in the state it was end, I would expel them as the quarians
were expelled.
And I would kill you first. Not to mention that it was solely a tiny echelon of the asari government that even knew about the beacon; the vast majority of the species had no idea.
