It's a lot easier to figure out what is and isn't affected by Destroy if you assume that it specifically targets Reaper tech, not the incredibly general concept of "synthetics". It also makes a bit more sense from a logical standpoint - the idea of a "Reaper kill switch" is a lot more plausible than that of an anti-AI gun.
