The Oracle and the Architect are much closer to being the "Gods of the Matrix" than Neo is.

He just didn't play into their plan. That's it.

They could have wiped him from The Matrix, but they didn't.

No, that is wrong. He simply didn't do what he was designed to do.

Another "The One" would have come along and done the process. Humanity wasn't doomed.

The Matrix would have continued no problem. Most to all of Zion would have been wiped out, and people would become "red pills" when another "The One" did what the very first "The One" did.

If you want to get down to it, the original "The One" was more of a God than Neo.

No, he wasn't above it all. He was all part of the plan. Neo just chose not to follow it. They allowed it. I explained one reason why they allowed him to not follow the plan. You could probably think of other reasons.

If I'm not mistaken, they really allowed him to not fulfill his programming because of Smith.

True, Oracle is essentially a part of the Architect. They complement each other.

It's not as simple as "he didn't play into their plan", as he went against what he shouldn't have been able to.

They couldn't have wiped him once he went against his prophecy, as he proved he wasn't chained to his predetermined path. They also needed him.

Another "One" couldn't have come along until [this] Neo filled his role, Zion was destroyed, some humans were allowed to live (or freed) to rebuild Zion, thereby repeating the cycle. Neo essentially stopped that set of predetermined events.

He was part of the plan until he went against it and freed himself for the prophecy by becoming more than the sum of his parts. Just as Smith was able to defeat the Oracle, because he went rogue and beyond his set role in the scheme of it all.

They didn't allow him to "fulfill his programming" to defeat Smith, as he had already altered it by doing what he wasn't supposed to do. You're putting the cart before the horse.
