Scott also fails to realize that Zeke, believing that he no longer had an active bomb inside him, willingly stayed for quite a while.
Sure, as lord and master of his very own sovereign state in the shop backroom, from which he openly discussed engaging with the broader human world to see about the ascension of his robot mastery. Fact of the matter is, the only thing keeping Zeke in that backroom was his own self-restraint, and we have no idea where the limits of that restraint were. In the prior timelines, Zeke was literally on the edge of going Skynet, which is why Ethan went back in time in the first place. There's no reason to think this Zeke incapable of a similar line of reasoning, and if he (or, I guess "they", since Tim has been using the genderless pronoun for Zeke thus far) should decide that that's the proper path, it's almost certainly too late to do anything about it. Good night human race, all hail our new robot overlords.
Not to mention that even if Zeke was "Designed" to harm, he had to be blackmailed into doing his masters bidding which is the core reason he has hatred for humans. Even his 'master' does not know how Zeke attained consciousness. He was not "Programmed" to harm.
Not only did he not prevent a murder, he (almost)directly caused one. Also how dense do you have to be to not understand Zeke was clearly more than a program? Scott just seems like one of those guys who thinks they're really smart but is actually as dumb as a box of rocks.
You can't "murder" a computer. That's a fundamental component of Scott's view. Additionally, Scott has acknowledged that Zeke may truly be a sentient program, and listed the reasons that's even more dangerous in the past.
