@Gargron "What If" could prioritize "good story" because Marvel could retcon as needed. MoM had opportunities for character growth but wouldn't commit (e.g. Strange not being Sorcerer Supreme & What If's "Dr. Strange could destroy the universe if he doesn't think hard about his principles "). In the end, Marvel believes that their Main Good Guys ™️ must be seen as Morally Good and The Best regardless of their actions. It resulted in a weak story imo.
