This scene showed that there were programs within the Matrix that weren't under the controll of it and that they wanted to continue to exist just as the humans did. It changed the nature of the entire conflict.  Agent Smith was no longer the same program that he was in the first movie. When faced with destruction at the end of the first movie he had found a way to become something far more powerful than his original programming. He had transformed into a virus that was competing with the powers within for control of the Matrix. They could have used a different bad guy for his, but why bother when Agent Smith was a villain that was well-respected by the audience?  Morpheus' role in this story is to act as the prophet. His job was to find Neo and train Neo. The only way that he is different than other teachers is that he didn't die. His importance was over once the hero he discovered came into his own.  Does every death in a war have to be at the hands of the enemy? She died in an accident. It sucks, but it also put Neo in a position where he had nothing left to lose and nothing left to come back to.  Why bother waking everybody up when the world outside would not be able to support them? Why destroy the Matrix when there are living programs within it that have just as much of a right to exist (remember the girl at the trin station?). What Neo does is first inform people of the truth and then gives them a choice of living in it or outside of it. If you chose to live within it then you help to provide power for the Matrix and you get to live in the world you have always known. If you chose to live outside of it you get to help rebuild the world. It makes sense.  At the end it looked like Neo's body had been destroyed completely and he had become a part of the Matrix - a powerful part. The Matrix still existed as it always had, but he stands as the one faction that holds the ultimate power within. If he could take out Smith after Smith had seized control over the Matrix then he could most likely eliminate anyone within, including the architect if need be. They had no choice but to cooperate with him.</blockquote>
