No one's saying it doesn't make sense that the Leviathans wouldn't get directly involved; their whole character suggested they wouldn't. And even if they did, the odds of actually seeing it are only marginally higher then those for someday seeing our preexisting War Assets in action. What people are saying, justifiably, is that it's disappointing to not see it, regardless of whether there's good reasons we wouldn't.

Still, I for one considered seeing a Sovereign-class Reaper get one-shotted a suitable payoff for the buildup we'd gotten about what the Leviathans can do.
