Would radically changing the present be such a terrible thing?

No. We're in one of the horrible future timelines that the main character has to go back to fix.

Well good for the main character I guess. We're still stuck in this one.

Yup, that's how it would go in those stories. Either the timeline goes away once the changes are made, or the people have to keep living with it. Lucky us.

You would have to kill everyone alive, so there's that issue.

I mean it's not such an issue tbh.
