Lily, I think you're missing the point here.

It's not about whose problem we're solving or what the "problem" even is, it's the shift in the narrative's focus. "Synthetics are doomed to annihilate organics" is put at the forefront, when the entire trilogy has been, for the most part, about our struggle for freedom and survival against the Reapers. The ending is supposed to resound the theme, and wrap up the conflict that's been continuing throughout the plot. It needs to echo the old themes and conflicts, not introduce new ones.
