"The crazy" being prevented in that sentence is the life of nearly every sentient being.

That's not true. Just the the life of any sentient being that is not incorporated into the sacred timelines.

Okay, fine "most of the lives of every sentient being." As Douglas Adams said, the major problem of time travel is grammar.

That rounds to "all sentient beings" for any level of approximation you choose to pick.

Is their life really "ended" if there is still an infinite number of them in other timelines? I'm kind-of joking, but once you start contemplating the multiverse things stop making much sense.
It's not made super clear but it seems the TVA does not destroy every branching timeline. By extension we can arguably infer that infinite copies of "everybody" still exist, just in a smaller set of timelines (the ones the TVA allows to exist). So, if they've erased an infinite amount of life, but also an infinite amount of life still exists, then what actually happened?
