Because it's lazy and pointless.
It takes away any semblance of stakes. If a character dies or fails, no reason a writer can't now just bring in another version from a different universe, so whatever big moments were to be had now feel less meaningful. It also messes with character arcs—when there are endless versions of the same person, it trivializes the one you've been following all this time and their struggles.
On top of that, the multiverse more often than not is just used for cameo shit. Obviously Mahvel is the biggest example of this, but the same thing is happening here. Anno/Khara couldn't even just leave it at their usual references. They HAD to go all out and make what could've just stayed an alternate timeline into a multiverse story. And for what? What is actually gained from doing this? We get to see the RX-78? We see it every day. We've gotten Builds series for ten years and you couldn't go one episode without seeing it once.
