If he got back into the Matrix like he wanted he would have died with everyone else a few years later when it gets reset.
Yeah but with the false memories of having lived a long and successful life as an actor and politician
The other part of this is that there's no reason for the machines to hold up their side of the deal (though admittedly, no reason for them not to)
Again, Cypher may or may not know this (because of Morpheus's zealotry) but the Machines (other than Smith, who is as much an abomination to them as anyone) *do not wish humans ill*, they are just afraid of us
