So here's the thing. The Watcher did say the divergent point was the Vision body not being stolen. To your point none of that should affect these things in outer space like Volmir or the Nova Core.nah, everything is the same up till that nexus point. How that Thanos got some of those stones makes no sense, it shouldn’t be brushed away with “things worked out differently”.
Problem is Uatu is fixated on Earth and rarely focuses on anything beyond that even Thor's episode focused primarily on how this single divergence affected Earth instead of Asgard, his homeworld.
That fixation on Earth is one sign of the Watcher's limitations. Uatu is powerful, but not omnipotent. So basically players fuck up. Niggas be wrong sometimes. This episode was about showing the Watcher not being as powerful as he and we think. So other divergences such as the locations of the stones can get overlooked, even by someone called a "Watcher"
