One word: Oculus Right, and that is confirmed to be the only thing responsible for the timeline going a certain way when we have directly seen something like the Speed Force say hi to people. Speed Force deals with the speedsters' fuck-ups with the timeline, creating time remnants and stuff, not timeship crews'. So... yes, the Oculus wasn't the only thing making time go a certain way and to presume now they can do anything is a bit wrong. No, it's pretty much is! Other than "I don't want to risk further paradoxes", no reason for timeship travelers to not change time. Granted, paradoxes may be important, but I think Rip's character would risk it for his family.
