Which is just pedantry, really. And again ties into the lack of agency. If any course of action you can take, up to and including dying and doing nothing forever, or permanently breaking the stable time loop of inevitability, leads to the same outcome regardless... what is the point of the character actions? Or even the story?

What we are seeing is that not only have the last four years meant nothing, but so too has the one action designed, narratively and explicitly, to give the characters an out from their awful destinies. It has all meant nothing because everything is STILL going according to the cosmic narrative.
