[Mass Effect 2] (spoilers) Why didn't they just blow up the Omega Relay?

Collectors can't get back to their base to resupply or make room for new abductees , gg.

I believe the reason was that they needed more leads on the Reapers and by just blowing up the relay would have deprived them of the information needed to fight them during the impending Reaper War. Shepard knew she needed to do it. All easy options were barred from her.
