Brotherhood of Steel missed opportunity

I feel the Brotherhood of Steel (BoS) missed a great opportunity by destroying the Institute. Enslaving or killing their department heads along with adequately incentivizing the remaining senior researchers/technicians to work for the BoS would have been much better. Keeping the synths and their productions capabilities for at least them finding children and non-depraved young woman to protect them, possibly while bringing them to safer areas, would have been a--great--addition to humanity ; example of depraved: raiders. There's so few children and not that many non-degraded childbearing-aged woman around Boston, this could really be improved.

The former could be done by reprogrammed Gen 3s. Modified Gen 1s could be sent to areas with minimal human presence to hunt humanity threats. Reconditioned Gen 2s could don armor covering most of their skin and what's exposed could be painted to maximize their chance of passing as human, then be sent where there's low-medium human presence so in addition to hunt humanity threats, also eradicate depraved humans.
