OK, so Neo is dead, everyone in the matrix is dead except for the programs, What did the humans get out of the whole thing, sure the war is over, but the entire reason for having a war (to reclaim the earth) didn't get resolveed, i mean the machines still own the world, man is still stuck in a underground cave, so what did they gain besides losing a bunch of people?
