I think at a point you become familiar enough with the illusion of fiction that it doesn't matter. Character dies, character comes back: it's just the resurrection trope. They couldn't resurrect themselves because they're not a Messianic figure, and the setting doesn't allow for necromancy, so they went with an alternate universe copy. In three episodes it won't matter if they're "the same one" anymore, because that was never the point.

How often do alt universe characters actually stick around permanently? They have other ways to bring characters back from the dead. Barry Allen out running death. Superman punching a hole in reality causing Jason to come back etc.
