Because having one timeline kept most of the psychos from ever existing. At least, that was the story He Who Remains fed Loki and Sylvie. Take that with a grain of salt.

Of course, pruning those branches meant killing/retconning literally INFINITE numbers of people.

Not really a good answer to this problem, huh?

The loom seems to be an alternate solution.

I think the idea is imagine the damage one Kang can do, now imagine an army of them. As he says kill the dictator leave a vacoom.

I assume answering that question is the point of the season. Sylvie asked about that outright several times and nobody had an answer for her.

Sylvie not checking if Renslayer had a Tempadd and then leaving her alone unobserved is the most blatant "the plot only happened because a smart character is suddenly a complete idiot" element I've seen in a long time.

New episode is using a very Douglas Adams kind of logic. "If you've done six impossible things this morning..."

I suspect they're trying to lead into him becoming the MCU equivalent of God(dess) of Stories Loki with all the stuff about the characters noticing events are following fiction rules.
