I've had this discussion with friends. Killing Thanos makes no difference only because they're a remnant of the blip in the timeline, I believe. Steve replaces the stones and Guardians plays out as it always did, it just doesn't negate the fact that for 30-60 minutes maybe in 2014, there's a sort of blister on the timeline where different stuff happened in 2014. That still exists, just outside the main stream of events. And that's where Thanos, his army, Gamora, and 2014 Nebula came from, which is why killing 2014 Nebula didn't kill 2023 Nebula and killing the army made no difference to the events of Guardians.
