They've simply ignored what Mordin had to say on the matter before.
Just look at the Synthesis ending.
This. Nothing is supposedly meant to fit with anything that came before. Mordin was clear and made a great deal of sense on the whole thing-he put it succinctly. There is no person left inside a Collector, because the tech took all that away. The Zha'til are a big example of what likely would happen (especially if what Leviathan programmed the kid to think is true). If Synthetics take over and will always kill all organics (and the Collectors show the synthetic part getting rid of the organic), then Synthesis won't end well.
synthesis reboots nature to uphold synthetic organic systemology at the natural level. Evolution now,with synthesis, contains basic model of synthetic structure. Makiing it OK to be synthetic, even a plant can be synthetic. Synthetics would be IN everything, directly affecting preconditions. There wouldn't be any.
Organic and synthetic reality. ONE big happy family tree. Or compendium as the Geth seems to call it. Taking over would have a whole new meaning.
just say'n
We have no indication it does this at all. We have tech that is fully integrated with organic DNA. This is the same thing that happened in the story of the Zha'til and the tech took over. Again, if synthetics will always, inevitably kill all organic life, it makes no sense to have it floating around in an organic/synthetic stew. What you are suggesting is if the tech becomes really small it's ok and will do good, but this is not the premise of all that the kid is programmed to believe. He categorically believes that synthetics will inevitably kill all organic life. Just because it gets attached to organic DNA doesn't mean that is avoided. The size of the synthetic does not indicate what it might become-if the kid's understanding of all this is true. And, what's worse is we have no idea exactly what tech is inserted into people-where it came from.
The lesson of the Zha'til is really clear. The problem is it always comes down to what the purpose of the tech is-we don't know. And who created it. The Protheans as a race and culture would create synthetics in their own likeness, so it's reasonable that they would create warrior synthetics who definitely might be more prone to kill. Or because they controlled other races, that kind of milieu would be the world into which synthetics were born. However, if there was a race of people that were, say like Mother Theresa and tried most often to do only good and to serve others and they create synthetics, those synthetics might well have more of her type temperament. They too are subject to nature and nurture.
Just like a child who is brought up in a racist family-who might be more predisposed to become racist, too, synthetics are products of their creation and their reality. They are born with a set of abilities and they learn in their environment. We have no idea just what the tech is or where it came from in Synthesis, but everything in the game was dead set against this kind of intrusion into people's bodies. Mordin made the most reasonable case about it, but the genophage showed what could happen when you put foreign things into people's bodies. The Collectors showed the obsenity it could become when tech takes over.
