I have thought the same too.. But I think part of it, is I do not think it made logical sense that the Terminator would put itself in such a vulnerable position where they could have simply smashed his brain, and got rid of him right there. Especially when his protocol states he cannot 'self terminate' which in essence he kinda did for a moment.
The one thing though that has always bothered me about the Terminator series is.... what happens in the future when John Conner gets killed? What did Skynet expect? Everyone in the resistance to immediately vanish? John to Vanish? The butterfly effect is almost incomprehensible. So great, Sarah gets killed right away, and the original Terminator never ends up getting crushed in Cyberdynes factory, and then Skynet never comes to be in the first place. So Skynet could have destroyed itself. Maybe that was the end goal... to avoid it all in the first place.
At best, Skynet was investing all these resources for an alternate timeline that had zero effect on it's own universe.
