I dont get why it boiled down to how synthetic life will always rise up and become violent, so they need these cycles to keep things in check?

What do you mean "you dont get it" - you literally don't comprehend the concept of it - or you don't understand why they chose that as the theme of the Universe?
Anecdotal assumption alert:
The AI/Organic thing has been addressed as at least a minor theme in the other games - look at the Quarians, they created the Geth to help - the Geth rebelled after gaining thought, and there you go - Mass Effect 1. Mass Effect 2 explored the fact the Geth might be synthetic but they're still "life", but not before a corporation tries bringing Shep back from the dead and making him a living-robot so he can start flying around the Universe with his living AI-ship, dealing with the fact there is an engineered species stealing people to make a giant robotic human simply because they feel superior to all other species and don't trust any of them with their own survival. Which makes "sense", considering you're controlling a human-robot who is flying in a living ship with a sentient robot on his team.
The alien species 'controlling the cycles' maybe views synthetic life as an abomination to real life, being that it is superior and a seemingly neverending threat to organic life because given enough time it will most likely decimate the species that created it if no outside help is thrown in.
It just seems to me that Mass Effect is "about" the combination of living creatures and computers [In the same way that Deus Ex is, but on a larger and more warped scale] - and the problems associated with it - they just fast forwarded thousands of years beyond the "Hey, we made a computer that can play Chess, and we can put a barcode in your arm" part.
I still do want to play the game and experience this horrible unsatisfying ending for myself to see how magnificently let down I'll be. I have yet to see a person anywhere online say "Yeah, I'm satisfied with this so far." - That just makes me want to play it so much more.
