Still others frame the Madokaverse in similar fashion to our own, and point out heat death is a very, very long time from now.
I question whether Urobuchi has even considered the above topics of any importance to the show. The main point is Kyubey works for the overall good of the universe, and sacrifices some lower lifeforms to do so. Entropy is just there because Kyubey needs something concrete as an explanation. For this reason, some may be displeased with Kyubey. I'm okay with it.

Aren't we supposed to share Madoka's viewpoint anyway? Homura has already stated that Kyubey does not have the same moral values as humans do. The goal of reducing entropy just makes it harder to side with Kyubey.
