They were "doing something" that whole time, though. The moment Sovereign died they began travelling via standard FTL to the galaxy. It just took them that entire two years to do it. Meanwhile they set their errand boys on a mission to take out the most wildcard race that had ever stood against them. Humans.
The point of not having the breathing room was to push Shepard to their limit, they thought they'd have the time to build up resources/armies and then they get killed. Wake up two years later to find out no one's done anything about the Reapers and it's probably too late.
Had they not killed Shepard and just placed the games chronologically equidistant there would be very little tension in the "Can Shepard pull this off?" Department.
