Compelling Scott to live on does not require controlling every atom of the entire universe. You want to dismiss the simplest and clearest presentation of what occurs on-panel, contradict yourself and ignore how your logic actually ends up making Uatu > Phoenix, that's your cup of tea.
apparently it does, because that's how she did it a little showy but effective in illustrating the kind of power the Phoenix has. It was also Uatu who claimed that the Phoenix was only second to the creator.
