Insert a huge debate about the Wachowski's not knowing where the franchise was headed at the end of the first film. Personally I don't buy that. If you watch The Matrix Revisited documentary, a film that's often ignored when this subject comes up but which contains critical information about the development of the first film, one inevitably finds that the Wachowski's pitched a trilogy to execs at WB, but were pushed back to one film.
In a way, you may be right. Neo appears to have a special gift beyond what he was given by the machines. He has a quality, a power if you will, that transcends human and machine understanding. Perhaps that's an allusion to a reality outside of the physical reality that the machine city and Zion occupy. I don't think the story needed multiple recursive realities for two reasons: the story was about the confliction of love, purpose and control.
If the story needed recursive realities, the Wachowski's could have accomplished that easily. By establishing that "our world" is part of a recursive reality, it may have further detached the viewer from the emotional connection of the drama. If memory serves, most of the reality within a reality productions I mentioned above didn't do well. It starts to smell like an episode of The Outer Limits.
