That's because the process of creation is at this point undeniable.
So in the end the manyworld interpretation doesn't really have any purpose, because the fake story creation process by itself can explain all the differences among the various games, and you only need a single "real world" which all of them are based upon.
Why you need many worlds, when the Gamemaster already has the power to make changes to such worlds?

I don't think the word "creation" in any way implies that the kakera analogy doesn't work. Yes, kakera cover all possibilities, but you can't just say "Gohda killed everyone by accident" unless there's some physically possible way for that to happen. So, if you want to tell a particular story (i.e. find a specific kakera), you need to find out what conditions are needed to lead to that result.
For example, if you want to make a story that leads up to that famous Nanjo closed room of EP3, you can't just pull that kakera out of a hat. You'd need to find a set of conditions that leads to that result. If your reasoning was right, then there must be a kakera that follows your story (assuming that there are kakera for all possibilities, no matter how unlikely). But you have to be able to create that reasoning in the first place.
In other words, as we figured out long ago, the Author Theory and Kakera Theory are nearly identical while on Rokkenjima. In one, you're writing a story that must be internally consistent to hold the readers' interest, and in the other, you're writing a story that must fit the laws of physics and the game start conditions so that there will be a kakera to match it to.
However, the Game Master isn't changing any worlds with the kakera theory, just selecting them. If they were changing the actual worlds themselves, that would violate the laws of cause and effect and make the story invalid as a kakera.
