"Based on" means "a recreation of." And it's not. Not only is it not based on Terminator, but also, Skynet was never "seemingly harmless." It was given the capability to wipe out the human race deliberately, and decided to. Its entire mechanism was a murder machine and it did what was predictable to it. It is nothing like Meteion.

You have failed to understand not only Endwalker but also Terminator.
