It's not really instant - vide the Omega 4 relay, and arriving at Rannoch during the battle - the trip through the FTL corridor takes atleast 3 seconds. For some bizzarre reason the corridor in the ending just goes ooooon and ooooooon, like the Normandy was stuck in it, and couldn't exit the destination point. If that point was a relay, then surely it'd be intact, as the wave that would destroy it was just now following Joker.
