He only spread like that to gain power. His goal was not to simply absorb everyone for the sake of absorbing everyone. He wanted freedom from the matrix. He would destroy everything to get control. He is the fallen angel that rejected the authority of the matrix.

You are one-dimensional. The matrix is clearly bad too and Neo also rejected it. Not everyone who's evil is on the same side, this isn't Disneyland. Not only that, but the machines didn't even care about Smith until Neo showed them that he would assimilate them too.

The matrix isn't bad. What is bad are the totalitarian forces in control of the matrix. Many people would choose to live there. If people had the choice to live there or live outside the matrix there would be no problem.

But we don't have a choice, and neither did the people in the movie until Neo made a deal...and the machines ended up double crossing him anyway.

We do have a choice.

Okay, then I'd really appreciate it if you'd tell me how because I really can't stand it here.

You have the choice to be good or not. To follow the teachings of the Bible or not. It's not a choice to leave a fictional simulation you aren't in.

You completely moved the goalposts! That wasn't even the discussion here.

But I will answer anyway. It is obviously not fictional. All the evidence dating back millenia points to it. Religion and science both have clues. There's no other way to explain the universe. I mean it's obviously a dream, or we wouldn't be conscious of it, but it can't be entirely a dream because it's also clearly controlled by other forces, and we're prisoners in it. There's also really tricky white light traps and demons impersonating certain figures to trick people into reincarnating.
