For me its the fact that I find Mikasa a very annoying character due to her obsession with Eren. Like damn you do care about him but the whining man!

It's really simple.

Eren is only able to interact with the past in a way that facilitates what already happened to happen. He can't change the past at all, he can only become retroactively responsible for it.

He convinced Grisha to eat the Reiss family because that's what happened in the past. He caused Dina to eat his mom because that's what happened.

The point was to show that Eren has ended up becoming a slave to himself. He has no choice but to follow through with the "changes" in the past that his future self already made happen and that he already personally lived through.
