No, they don't. If they did, the events of Mass Effect wouldn't have happened. Remember the Prothean beacon on Eden Prime? Or the Prothean beacon in Saren's lab? Or the Prothean research station on Mars? Or the Prothean mini-relay on the Citadel? I can go on and on and on and on with examples. But I'll refrain, and simply say that the claim that Reapers "take everything that isn't nailed down including the species technology" has exactly no support from canon sources. In fact, we have numerous examples of technology and other things that aren't "nailed down" that somehow survived this supposed looting of the galaxy by the Reapers.
