You can't look at it in the generic sense. You have to look at it as it is: Magic. A magic spell was CREATED to use on the Mikaelson family by their witch mama. Blood magic created vampirism. But the Orginals are their own thing, much in the way Silas was. Both have repeatedly said that "vampires" are just cheap knock-offs. Loop holes were put into play by Ester Mikaelson, in the way that they always are with spells. So that they may be altered and undone. Blood magic can only be changed by blood (family).
Ester's MAGIC (not vampire blood lineage down the chains over the centuries) made it so that vampires would be taken off the earth if each of her children were snuffed out. She made it extremely hard for them to be killed, but she had to make a few provisions for things to go wrong (white oak, Mikael, etc.). She knew how much *beep* she was in for going against nature, so the least she felt she could do was make it uncomplicated to wipe out entire lines. She knew there would be no controlling her children, let alone centuries of random blood suckers. That said, she had no CLUE that the blood lust would become the biggest part of it. She was merely trying to make them immortal, using Silas's spell.
