It'd mean that Alexander foresaw all possibilities and decided the one where people usurp his leftovers for whatever things they do as acceptable. That's the nature of infinity, though: Alexander looked at Gogonji using that power to do everything and went "Yep, worth it to not get involved." Every good thing, every bad thing.Well, to be more precise he wouldn't have considered it because the lore-writers weren't thinking about if/how people would want to try summoning Egis of him or Trancing him from an RP standpoint. There's a lot of things they haven't thought about because RPers by nature put a lot of thought into random little tidbits the lore team might not even consider. Hence why Lore discussion threads like this pop up, where people discuss the feasibility of what can and cannot be done.
... And technically, as mentioned earlier, he couldn't see all possibilities. Warrior of Light amaze-o-glow keeps him from seeing into the future. He just knew any timeline that exists where he is allowed to remain manifest as a Primal and manipulate the timeline to create a "perfect future" will result in ruin because his existence directly conflicts with his goals. In creating a perfect future, he destroys said future due to the aether he'd drain in the process - killing the planet and creating a dead future.
... But yes, apparently Alex's biggest computational failing was not erasing Gogon from existence.
