No, Disney is ironically not a Mickey Mouse outfit at all. What they do is keep their IP making money for decades and decades after it was first made (and they make sure to get IP laws changed in their favor so that they can keep them making money past the century mark).

Marvel’s multiverse is interesting because it works like they describe in Endgame. You can’t really change your past, but you can create an alternate timeline by trying. So it ends up splitting a lot, and they make all sorts of wonky random things happen. There are groups like the Captain Britain Corps that are all about crossing dimensions.

It ultimately means that nothing gets thrown away- the writers always have tons of material to work from. Just because the heroes prevented their timeline from ever becoming the Days of Future Past doesn’t prevent a character like Rachel Summers and Franklin Richards from time traveling to the present from the Days of Future Past future.
