I just wanted to point out that the Hive could have very well been filled with Light had they chosen a different path(not for gameplay reasons cuz pew pew aliens). Imagine majestic Hive Knights or mystical Wizards.
We could have been friends, allies, but they chose death and destruction. And so we give it to them freely.
What if we had joined the Darkness? What if we had filled ourselves with the hunger of the worm gods? What if we had been the invaders?
Also I would like to point out that 13.4 billion years was the most commonly held start date for a while, so perhaps the dev that wrote the Starfire Protocol's description did not know of the newer data that supported the slightly older universe. Even now we are still likely wrong, as the Big Bang(terrible name but for simplicity's sake I'll use it) makes it really hard to observe the beginning accurately.

They definitely could have chosen a different path, chose the light. But I think they were tricked. Lied to by the worms, creating fear of the syzygy that the worms themselves created. Like the serpent in the garden of Eden, tempting them with lies.

To my understanding of tha phrase it more like the hive would continue living as the have lived and they wouldnt release the worm gods its not that they were chosen by the light or the traveller, remember we are the first and only guardians.

The Eliksni(Fallen) were once visited by the Traveler. Although nothing states that they became Guardians or had the Light imbued into them, I feel as though they likely would have been Guardians. The Traveler doesn't have to die to create Ghosts, that is is just how it happened for us.
