G'raha et al. doing all of that [insert vague gesturing] just to save us and prevent chaos in a future timeline was suitably heroic and proportionate to the crisis at hand, but saving or preserving - even in part - an entire race wasn't even in the realms of consideration?
For me at least, it's "well, we're here now and I'm not going to voluntarily break the space-time continuum again".

G'raha probably shouldn't have jumped ship from a world that wasn't in so bad a shape after all, and they could have made good use of the tower for their own technology. But he's here now and we can't send him back so we might as well make the most of it.

And on the flipside, the ancients WILL go through that fate whether or not we make a feel-good alternative that might blow up in our (and their) faces anyway, so I'm going to stay loyal to this reality rather than try to create a second.
