If the salarians hadn't introduced the genophage.. we'd all be dead. There'd be no ME:A.
The Reapers would probably have had nothing to destroy either. So no ME3.
I think it's a pity that throughout the series noone ever really says that what the salarians did, was actually of benefit to the krogan. It stopped them wiping themselves (completely) & everyone else, out and it gave them pause for thought. So if anything, the krogan should love the salarians.
Actually, Mordin tries to say this but can't quite get himself to believe it.
Really this is like saying that since the poorest American Blacks are still well ahead of most of the people in Africa they should be applauding the slave trade, which no one will. Or, if you prefer, you could say that since in WW2 the Japanese troops fought to the death and the civvies committed suicide to escape capture, the Japanese people should be grateful for being nuked into submission rather than getting invaded and ending their race.
Of course the Salariens, geniuses that they are, managed to go one step more horrifying. One of the female Krogan, I think it was Eve, described the effects of the Genophage as literal piles of dead babies. At the hospital where I work there are these little pictures of a leaf with a raindrop on it which go on the doors of rooms where a baby just died. You learn really quickly to not go into those rooms unless you really have to, because those parents are just DESTROYED. That's for one baby and these parents will most likely be able to have others. For most Krogan parents, it is dozens of dead babies at once, and the probability that even though you HAVE to keep trying that's all it will ever be. The Salariens created something to stabilize an animal population, although based on what we've seen of animals in captivity they might have died out anyway. To use this on a sentient race, to even create it for that purpose, shows that you either regard that race as nothing more than animals or that you have such an utter lack of "humanity" that you make AdolphHitler look good.
I'm actually surprised that the Krogan didn't come up with a version of the Genophage for the Salariens, and maybe Turiens, infect their race(s), and then sit back and scream "Payback's ABITCH!!!"

Actually it is unborn babies she says.
Since Krogans lay eggs it will be unfertilized eggs.

In at least one version of your talks with Eve she describes holding her dead baby, so I'm not sure how it works in the end
