All life on the planet was 99% wiped out by then. This was the point of the second sacrifice. Maybe if they knew about it in advance this could have been avoided.

If time travel ever becomes so simple and trivial that you can alter past events without effort and consequence, then we can arbitrarily go back at our leisure and undo any event that we don't like. Character deaths are meaningless because we know that we can always go back in time and resurrect them at will. As attached as you may be to the people on Elpis, it's really not good for the future direction of the story, and the writers would do well to not cave into that.
That is currently what we're doing with Pandemonium though. Except rather than time traveling to save people, we're time traveling to solve a problem that either they could have solved then or we could have solved now, all while working alongside people that are living with a guillotine above their heads that we're basically just ignoring.

Surely I can't be the only one extremely uncomfortable with the fact that we're still doing side content in Elpis despite knowing everyone and everything there is going to get dunked soon anyway, right? It's like if you were doing the Nier raids before even starting the Shadowbringers MSQ.
