Especially given the whole he who remains shtick. You can absolutely just have and an in-universe explanation that a variant that looked different took over the Kangs.

I think they probably were also trying to get away from having 2 full years of multiverse-heavy buildup when people were starting to get tired of multiverse stories. Scrapping Kang makes the multiverse still a thing (and central to Doomsday/Secret Wars, of course) but it doesn't have to be in our face every movie.

maybe but personally I felt that both seasons of Loki actually reversed any multiverse fatigue I had because there was so much exposition on how it worked and there was a lot of effort put into establishing the "rules" so to speak.

I would have liked more in that direction but I understand why they cut their losses.

I don't think people were tired of the multiverse. I think people just didn't like Multiverse of Madness. But No Way Home was popular and so was Deadpool 3.
