The quarians tried to exterminate the geth when they noticed that they actively evolved the geth into full AI. Creating AI was prohibited, hence the quarians panicked with genocide as a result. Fortunately the geth won the Morning War and they retreated beyond the Perseus Veil. And yes, they destroyed all vessels trying to enter their region. That totally makes sense, because council forces were trying to kill the remaining geth at that time. The hostile geth, a faction known as the heretics, were following Nazara. It appears to be some kind of artificial indoctrination, because the heretics revered Nazara, much like a religion. The non-hostile geth distanced themselves from the heretics. What makes those geth non-hostile was that they cleaned up the quarian home worlds out of respect for their creators, in case of a future peace. Any hostile race would never go into that much trouble, if they were truly evil. So they anticipated and supported a future return of their creators. All that was required was peace. The Geth also only ever acted to protect themselves, they ceased actions against The Quarians when the reached a certain point when retreating not being able to compute the consequences of destroying the whole Quarian race. They are also as you mention only acting in self defence in defending the home worlds, they never sought to attack others outside that until the Heretics started worshipping Nazara. That's why I say although I liked Legion cause it was the first non-hostile Geth we meet. I do understand why the Geth are so hostile towards outsiders. When we first speak to Tali about the Geth on the Normandy in ME1, I quickly sympathized with the Geth and as much as I liked Tali her people tried to commit genocide. I remember when I first played ME1 I wanted to speak to a Geth, thankfully we met Legion in ME2 and ME3, and thankfully we brought peace between the Geth and the Quarians.

They are also as you mention only acting in self defence in defending the home worlds, they never sought to attack others outside that until the Heretics started worshipping Nazara. Two minutes before you posted, I edited my post and added much the same: "..., because they didn't want to exterminate all the quarians."  You could argue that the geth gave in to the reapers by accepting the "improved" reaper code. However, at that time it was all or nothing for them. Their numbers were decimated and because of their collective mind this reduced their capabilities. It was a dumb move, but that proves that their intellect became compromised. Organics also fight for their survival, so when synthetics do the same, it is hard to hold that against them. They were a victim, just like any other race that was harvested. Wow, I did not consider that the reason why the Geth accepted the Reaper code was due to their dwindling intellect. I forgot that in ME1 Tali mentions that the Geth are effective when in great numbers, and begin to slow down mentally when there numbers are reduced.

Legion also mentions this to Shepard on board of the Normandy after he has been rescued in ME3. The geth also switch back to aid the organics against the reapers.
