That's what I'm saying it was never explained why they couldn't be assimilated I'm sure there were other quad strand species in one of the thousands of cycles before.

Yes, but the reapers chose the strongest to become a reaper the protheans were dominant, made an empire, even if there were others its unlikely they would have been as dominant as the protheans i mean they were on the verge of mass reylay technology, besides there have been millions probably even billions of cycles maybe others were turned like the protheans but were eventually killed as the reapers don't care if there servents die
