Not to mention that shooting them would leave alot of collateral damage (Space is large, much chance of a dreadnought misfiring and hitting something 10.000 years in the future, thus resulting in a new Dinosaur genocide (Yes, the dinosaurs died from a Dreadnought missing a Reaper)) or that it costs alot to get ammo for a ship. Much more efficient to keep the Reapers if you can control them.
