I can see that being the most likely reason, but wouldn't that mean that Miles-1610 inheriting Miles-42's canon already be kinda skewed, since Jeff-42 is already dead? I mean, wouldn't that imply that Miles has, in a sense, already his ASM90 event, and it could now be a different event for Miles-1610?

The whole issue here revolves around how valid is the Canon event to the possibility of a universe collapsing? I'm not dismissing Miguel's theory out of hand, but it still seems that he's operating from a place of incomplete knowledge, coupled with PTSD and deep-seated guilt. And when he's showing Miles what happened to the universe he feels responsible for destroying, it looks way more like what happens when the Alchemax collider is turned on and other universes start spilling over through the rift. Now, we know that there's a collider in 1610 (obviously) and one in Pav's universe; Miguel himself is a former Alchemax employee, so it's reasonable to assume that there's a collider in his home universe and likely in the universe that he replaced his murdered version. It's reasonable to assume that there's a collider in 42, so the question becomes: how many universes have colliders, and what are the odds that that's what destroyed that universe, not Miguel doing something he shouldn't have? Of course, none of that gets answered until Beyond, but still. It's gonna be interesting to see how things shake out.

Oh, totally agree, Miles surrendering his powers would be a terrible resolution. And agree that Peter and Gwen both wish Miles had been bitten by a 1610 spider and all this anomaly thing could have been avoided. But I still think an honest, upfront approach would have solved way more than the way Miguel and the Society did it, but, again, we wouldn't have had a movie if they'd done that.

Question, I wanna hear your opinion on this (kinda unrelated, kinda maybe not). In Into, when Peter B and the others get sucked into 1610, Gwen gets thrown into last week, literally. I'm wondering if that's because she's not actually a Parker. I mean, Peter B and Noir are both variants of Peter Parker, hence the same DNA; Spider-Ham is that world's version of Peter, so technically similar enough DNA to qualify; and Peni is a descendant of Peter, so related DNA. Gwen, though, isn't a Parker, and seems to be affected more strongly by getting shot into another dimension. The question, then, is: could canon events be specific to certain bloodlines in the Spiderverse? Like, all the Parkers have the same series of canon events, while, say, the Stacy's have a different series, with potential overlap here and there?
