Actually I'm perfectly aware that they're nothing more than mindless tools that don't need any "living space" and I'm aware that the Reapers don't give a sh*t about them. I'm merely suggesting that since they were no longer able to use the tactic they've been using every time until the Protheans, the Reapers would have to actively search the galaxy for each and every inhabited planet and waste even more time attempting to locate the Migrant Fleet, as well as the entire galaxy knowing of their existence, it's going to cost them. And knowing the Reapers, they wouldn't want to lose any of their numbers to "inferior" organics, which is where any remaining Collector would come in, as meat shields and cannon fodder.
