@Ygrain people can't use the Heretic geth as an example? Why not, that's kind of cheap, the Heretics are a faction of geth bent on worshipping the Reapers, and by doing so want to eradicate organic life, however you could argue the only reason why the want to eradicate organic life is because of the Reapers, thereby leaving a never ending loop of logic.

The best answer I can think of is simply that the geth and EDI are different, to quote the Prothean VI "Every cycle is different, but follows the same pattern".
