Say my Asari war assets want to get home. Unless Bioware says that standard FTL can travel at hundreds of thousands of times the speed of light, "weeks" won't cover it.
The galaxy is 100,000 lightyears across, and the races are spread out in little clusters across the entirety of that 39,000,000,000,000 cubic lightyears. The Normandy can't even cross a cluster without refueling, and these are just within tens of light-years of mass relays.
Once again with the vastly underestimating the scales involved. Galactic civilisation will no doubt need to adjust, but it can recover from this - not to mention that relays can be rebuilt! Without the Mass Relays, we've gone from 20th century mass transport with relays able to take you anywhere in the galaxy within a couple of days, most of which is spending waiting your turn at the relay, to 19th century slow communication, ships taking weeks to cross the Atlantic. If they took pot-shots at Bekenstein, surely they would take pot shots at the comm buoys. You think they wouldn't destroy the comm buoys in Asari space once they enter Asari space? And by the end, the Reapers are in every system with a mass relay. At the time, only Earth and Batarian space had been attacked. Actually the comm buoys that where destroyed/lost only happened in Batarian/Human space, no evidence has been shown to say that the galaxy wouldn't be able to communicate, aside from the Batarians, which, lets face it, the only ones left are outside Batarian space anyway, because by all logic, they should all be dead. The Normandy couldn't even traverse a cluster without stopping to top off, and the garden worlds are so far away that galactic civilization wasn't feasible without mass relays. You also vastly underestimate the size of the galaxy. Comm buoys were destroyed by the Reapers, only QEC could be used. 
Why are people complaining about how the destruction of the relays means the end of galactic civilization? The FTL communications network is separate from the relays, so people will at least be able to talk to each other across the galaxy everyone still possesses mass effect technology, so even though inter-stellar travel will be slower without the relays it should still be possible and of course they could always build more relays, especially if the Reapers decide to help rebuild the galaxy in the synthesis ending.
