"Synthetics will always try to kill organics" was quite frankly a bullshit premises in itself, and really only applies to the Reapers themselves
And, you know, the GETH. You know, the synthetic race that was created to be expendable, and that genocide was attempted on when they started to show signs of intelligence? The synthetic race who then went on to kill organics, and really only stopped trying because there was a bigger threat to their existence.
Who knows how many similar events happened in previous extinction cycles? It's not really a logical stretch to imagine that the Reapers have seen it time and time again, even if the game doesn't directly hold your hand and tell you they have.
Wrong. Legion even tells you himself in the game, the Geth purposely allowed the remaining Quarian forces to flee into Exile beyond the Mass Relay because
they did not desire war with their Creators, and felt no need to exterminate the entire Quarian race after the threat to their existence was halted. Heck, when you play the mission on Rannoch when Shepard enters the Geth network, it is shown through memory packets that many Geth even gave their own lives to protect their Quarian masters (the ones that sympathized with the Geth) from the Quarians that wished to destroy them, further reinforcing the fact that the Geth believe fully in self-determination of all living beings, and will fight to protect such.
The only reason the
minority of Geth ("Heretics", as Legion to refers to them) joined Sovereign and the Reapers in the first game was because they were forced into that situation by the Quarians in order to protect themselves from Genocide. Sovereign and the Reapers gave them advanced AI upgrades that allowed them to function much like EDI does in her robot body, being able to process the same amount of information that ten regular Geth networked together could achieve - alone. In turn, the heretic Geth worshiped them as being the pinnacle of existence that they desired to aspire to - albeit, this put them into direct conflict with organics to appease the Reaper's goals.
Furthermore, Legion states that although the Reaper upgrades are promising for the Geth in terms of being an evolutionary step towards being more fully realized AI's, the Reapers also have no empathy or consideration towards the right to self-determination of other species that they intend to harvest solely for their own preservation. Which is something completely against what the majority of Geth existing would ever support, and is also the reason why the Geth majority never went beyond the Perseus Veil. They were content to live independently from the organic races of the galaxy, and felt no need to (in the conquering sense) encroach on organic life.
So no, if you played the game, you most definitely did not pay attention to any of the complex story developing and revealed during the Quarian/Geth portion of ME3.
