It's unsustainable long term and, as Sphene mentions, the amount of people it supports is increasing all the time. One city might require 10 souls harvest one day... then 20... then 100... then 1000.

More people, more death. There was no alternative way to keep the system operational. AI Sphene activates an Intershard WMD to wipe out an insane amount of life all at once in several different shards. The comparison falls apart as soon as it becomes "save the living or spare a system that will run out of souls to harvest eventually and shut down anyway."
Problem was not that there was no other solution (Omicrons) but that there was no grey area.
That part could have been a great inner turmoil where we remember Emet but all of that gets taken away because they WANT to be deleted.
They are happy for the end and so there is no gray area just oh well.
I thought it was disgusting because while the system was sick those people for me were still living and the little sidequests sad for me.
