No no no you're not getting itI think, anyway, that where it's going is it's taking the whole juxtaposition of if we accept our existence as being organic and our means to try and reach out and extend our lives beyond our planet and our finite existences being a technical one, then we can consider the Alien tech as being created by people who, for whatever reason, are extra-organic consciousnesses, and use organics in the same way as we use technology, if they have a problem they make an organic solution, in a cold environment where we would build a shelter and then shut the window to make the room warmer, they would re build their own organic structure from the DNA up to make themselves less susceptible to the cold, so if these people have a problem, then their solution is a genetic DNA re write, or an organic life form that fills the gap, where as ours is to make something dead and technical that acts as a barrier between us and the problem.
Our fundamental problem according to the movie is our individual consciousness ends when we die, extrapolating from the idea of organic tech theirs is that consciousness without organic life and the ability to do things is pointless and boring. To us organic life is precious and amazing and tech is disposable, to them the complete opposite is true, they may exist as some form of electrical life perhaps and never die.
SO my guess is, we are in fact a 'program' that was planned to have an end organic product that the non organically bound Creators designed to produce a solution to a problem, but for whatever reason there was a mistake, we didn't come out right, and due to that accident as seen in the movie we still exist, we are a forgotten petri dish essentially, and we've grown beyond our original programmed intention, or went wrong, we aren't what it wanted, which makes us useless to the Creators who now want to wipe the 'disc' which is our world and our existence, and start over to try again and make whatever it was they originally intended, and we're just in the way.
We were a mistake, the Aliens are the kill switch, the disc wipe, we are being annoyingly hard to eradicate, and as far as the Creators are concerned we are a bug in the system that needs to be corrected so they can get on with whatever it is they originally intended to create, without us wandering around the universe thinking we're important and being a random element to their calculations.
I would like to imagine if the Creator began as a single non organic consciousness then it's fundamental goal is to create another consciousness born from organic life, simply to find someone to talk to that it likes. A mate. It makes sense as otherwise why make organic life so complicated as to be capable of consciousness?
Although for all we know, it is all war, or games, or just something to do...
I might be completely wrong but I guess we have to wait for the next installment.
