I think I'll summarize my thoughts on what this all means.

The "Great Diamond Authority" came to earth to create more gems. Rose and the others probably came along with them. The gems are like viruses, using other "living" things to reproduce, killing the host in the process. The gems have to do this in order to survive, so they would travel to different planets, reproduce until the planet was dead, and repeat. It was okay at first, as all the planets were unpopulated. But when Rose saw how earth was populated, she rebelled.

Kindergarden was the attempt to reproduce. The thing was, the gems that came from Kindergarden were normal at first, but something went wrong. The gems became corrupted, turning into horrible monsters. The Crystal gems saved one of the gems from Kindergarden. Amethyst. That's why the gems save the corrupted ones, keeping them in hope that they may be able to help them like they did Amethyst. I agree on their reproduction being a possible hindrance to Earth's ecology, but keep in mind that as Pearl implied in "Alone Together" that gems are inorganic after saying Steven's organic nature might have hindered his fusion powers. I believe the massive creation of gems in kindergardens were created by as Ronaldo said "HOLLOWING OUT THE EARTH!" They would locate gems with their bacteriophage devices, and use said gems as focal points for creating a new gem while using the surronding for additional mass. The virus analogy still works though, as this reproductive process would ultimately consume FAR too much of earth's silicon matter most likely causing it to become unstable or impossible for organic life to exist. If this were one of the eight dang planets in our solar system WITHOUT life this would be fine, but on ours its kind of a screw you. Rose most likely knew this, and stood against the GDA. Speaking of unstable, notice how many gem holes were at the kindergarden? Mayhaps they were...mass produced? Perhaps what caused them to be corupted was that they were all made in a hurry, meaning that a majority of their energy matrixes had such crucial flaws that they became bestial. Amethyst is most likely the only Earth made gem to not have such crucial flaws to her energy matrix.
