As a related side point, "needing humans" is not equivalent to a good outcome. The Blight also needed sophonts.
Now I did my generalizing from fictional evidence for today.
Now for mine. Minds from Iain M. Bank's Culture books keep humans around because we're complex and surprising, especially when there are billions of us engaged in myriad social and economic relationships.
This presupposes that 1) humans are no thread to Minds and 2) Minds can afford to keep us around and 3) the way they keep us around won't suck. 3 is basically just a restatement of FAI. 1 and 2 seem quite likely, though.
