If the 2012/1970/2014 timeline ceased to exist after returning the Stone back, than it can't exist for the Avengers to travel through in the first place (since there is no "before" and "after" in a time travel scenario). It's a paradox, and contradict what Banner's says about time travel physics. That's way connecting the idea of time travel to the Stones was a bad idea from the start (since it clearly not the case, as time can be just altered simply by a traveler with any other action, as Banner mentioned when explaining the "kill Baby Thanos" scenario). I wasn't necessarily suggesting that the timelines retroactively "never existed". They did exist, but only temporarily. My interpretation is that the timelines started existing from the moment the stones were removed from them to the moment that Cap returned them and then left.

The stuff that happened inbetween still happened. Like some sort of "time bags." I get that.
