time travel mechanics wise i am definitely beginning to feel as though (like others have pointed out) LG isn't abandoning timelines per se, but rewinding time ("play it till the end and then reset" vibes) — and maybe the past and future motto + the idea of major nodes isn't a Sure fact, but rather LG's way of retaining as much control over the timeline as possible.

I'm reminded of the earthquake arc, how CXS pleads to save the others and LG very heatedly says something like "changing the past could completely erase the life we have in the present"

CXS probably understood it as a straightforward butterfly effect, but in actuality CXS changing major things throws in a variable that LG hasn't accounted for, and as a result could jepordize the future LG has been so painstakingly fighting for.
