These idiots have already figured out a less stupid path to immortality yet went with the method that literally destroys all life instead. WHY?!
The entire point of Alexandria is not just preserving their memories but also keep them living their best lives without ever knowing loss. They even show that the system conspires to reunite loved ones and even keep your image similar to what you looked like when you're at your happiest. It was never about immortality for immortality's sake.

You yourself mentioned the omicron, who themselves admit that they don't know if they're even human and are very destroyable. Are alexandrians idiots for choosing to not be something that we already know doesn't work nor leads to happiness?

Plus, "just put them into new machines" wouldn't even be possible given enough time.

Electrope scarcity and the following war between nations was exactly what triggered Lindblum to launch the weapon that caused the calamity. Given enough time this idea of stuffing people into machines (as if they were things) would fail just as bad as the endless.
