Even the Hulk mentioned that if they managed to return the stones to the spot from which they were stolen, the alternate reality would have never happened.

'^ ''That's not what he said, though. Ancient One said without the Time Stone, that would leave them without their chief weapon. Remove an Infinity Stone, it creates a branch in the timeline. Banner's idea was to return the stones to the time when they were taken to eliminate the branch. Not the alternate timeline itself.'''
