Julian is also a cause of Flashpoint. If Savitar existed before Flashpoint as you say/claim; we'd be seeing Savitar trying to get out in season 1&2. But that never happened. Everything in season 3 is because of Flashpoint. You can't use Occam's Razor to justify your claims. Barry/Savitar himself has never showed 'Earthly appetite' since he has been introduced to us. Just because a character says something, 'Oh, his armor is protecting him.' or 'He travelled in the past and became the first speedster.' You shouldn't take them for granted when the show itself(objective lore) contradicts the subjective lore. Not to mention that the way it was worded in ep. 21/22? IIRC, strictly linked Savitar/Barry to Flashpoint and Earth 1. Not to mention that if you say he existed before Flashpoint as post-Flashpoint, then Reverse-Flash should have at least encountered him in season 2; but Eobard never says anything about him, but Abra Kadabra does/did. So, the theory/claim that he could be active pre-Flashpoint is illogical be it viewed from a linear or circular point of view. I am sure if that were the case; they wouldn't have emphasised Flashpoint affecting only just Earth 1.
