It's clearly a metaphor for people who view the world through a monitor rather than accumulating real experience with other people. He's detached because he never met someone who could show him the positives of the human spirit and is unable to actually connect with his underlings as an adult, even if some like Mars show actual affection to him. He believes he is making the world a better place by making it into a world of pure, cold unfeeling logic. You meet his grandfather and he admits that he regrets not taking him in as a child and giving him the love he needed.
And the thing is, the game doesn't outright tell him he's wrong. Unlike Maxie and Archie, he doesn't admit the error of his ways. His own emotion breaks through and he seethes at the prospect of having completely lost to you. He's left in the Distortion World, a plane of existence which contains no spirit, much like what he desired. It's throwing him a bone. Even Generations pointed this out.
What I like is how he's practically not even Team Galactic. He's just using them to further his own goals and has no plans for them in his new world. They continue to think they're looking for a new source of energy to strike it rich, but even Saturn turns on Cyrus after learning his true plans.
