In the original script, they were used for processing power, but the C-suites made them change it because they feared spectators wouldn't understand.

More like they changed it because the C-suite didn’t understand

They would have made poor processing units

Kinda like The Attic in Dollhouse

That's really interesting but I think that suffers from a similar issue because I'd assume the processing power needed to run the matrix alone would be much greater than 1:1 per human.

They needed special kind of problem solving computation, that only human brains can do. Like generating text or something.

That's why it's called sifi... Is based loosely on the myth that humans only use 10% of their brains.
