*** But that's the thing, they can't. The human population at large is now aware of the Matrix so if the machines take the choice away they can't go back to the old "subconscious choice to accept or reject reality" model that worked before. If they decide to simply lock humanity up in the simulation the population at large will immediately reject it which in turn will crash the simulation killing everyone inside, just like what they wanted Neo to prevent.

** Machines and programs are one in the same, programs are just machines that exist as code only without bodies IRL, it's not one group treating another badly. It's just that the machine society is deeply authoritarian with the good of the whole placed over individual freedom, comfort, or happiness.

** To understand this recall that Smith firmly believes in inevitability. From Smith's view the world can take only one path dictated by the physical aspects of life such as chemistry meankng he takes the predictive powers of the Orcale as infallible. They had gotten to the point where Smith's prediction of events comes to an end because, as the above point mentions, he couldn't understand why Neo would choose to do as he did meaning Smith couldn't predict any further. Smith can now see what lay beyond that choice and as a result can see his inevitable demise. As a result he freaks out repeatedly proclaiming it's unfair because he won yet his victory in the fight cost him exactly what he wanted.

** Smith becomes more human as the films progress. Repeating the Oracle's line might not have been entirely him in control. His demeanor changes when he says it. When he comes back, he becomes worried because he feels he's being tricked. Smith is feeling fear, possibly for the first time. Neo even asks him what he's afraid of. The Oracle once said "No one can see passed a decision they don't understand." Smith didn't understand that Neo would accept defeat, he only foresaw his victory, and he couldn't see passed Neo's decision to keep fighting. He doesn't under why.

*** Oh god. 1. Honestly? Your argument is "they should know how to do it, so the way it is in the movie therefore makes sense"? 2. They "clearly didn't need them"? They had to use swarm tactics just to get past the machine guns. This is ''not'' an effective use of resources. 3. Do you know how flimsy that reasoning is? The various Gundam series, ''Film/TopGun'' and other fighter plane movies, and hell, even ''StarWars'' have shown how to make the audience identify with piloted machines without actually removing the cockpit. A ''paint job'' for the hero machines could have worked, with closeups on the actors for whenever we need to see the pilots screaming.

*** Just a short clarification, the Merovingian does briefly appear in Enter the Matrix; he is seen in live action in a cutscene, talking to the keymaker through his cell door, and later in the Mansion stage he is shown talking to his two goons in the wine cellar, while the non-player character is being held captive.
