I think people are probably hung up on GQX Lalah's converstation with Machu that Char keeps dying to the Gundam and Zeon lost the war shortly after, and they assumed all those attempts are contained within the OYW timeline

It is probably special in the fact that Char actually stole the Gundam and is still alive unlike all the other failed attempts where Char kept dying to the Gundam > The universe becomes distorted and collapses > Shuji "kills" (?) Lalah to reset it.

Zeong's hand, Char's Ball is from the Tony Takezaki Gundam manga just like the Saku

You're right in that it's a bit of both. And I don't deny that Char has selfish motivations, he's a man who obviously wants things to change and it is inherently selfish to change the world according to your worldview. He also clearly has personal motivations: his fight with Amuro is both a way to give Amuro's ideals a "fair shot" and also a way to settle their rivalry since the OYW and get back at him for killing Lalah and not joining the AEUG up in space. Both of them have fucked up over the years, both of them couldn't move on from Lalah and the war in their own way.

who the FUCK texted machu man we thought it was amuro for a while but now he's here in the grandpa to beat char's ass again

The white devil, not content to destroy zeon in only its own world, pursues the concept of zeonism into other worlds too
