It seems the disconnect is between B & C for most people.
But why is the generative simulation (B) not morally equivalent to the replay simulation (C)?
Perhaps because the failure modes are different. Imagine the case of a system sensitive to cosmic rays. In the replay simulation, the everett bundle is locally stable; isolated blips are largely irrelevant. When each frame is causally determining the subsequent steps, the system exhibits a very different signature.
