But by that logic, Big Barda, Steppenwolf, Desaad, Mad Harriet, etc. also have multiversal relevance. Yet, I didn't see that during
Final Crisis.

We agree that the closest New God to Darkseid's station is his son, Orion. The Dog of War, The Hunter. Wielder of the Astro Force. He who literally tore Darkseid's heart out during that war in heaven that precipitated
Final Crisis itself. Orion fell. And what happened? He landed in a garbage heap.
What was the difference between Orion falling and Darkseid falling? Darkseid had the ALE. So when Orion ripped Darkseid's heart out and Darkseid fell, existence warped to reflect Darkseid's state.
But when Orion was killed and descended, no such warping of existence occurred. He landed in a garbage heap unceremoniously. So all arguments about Darkseid's inherent status as a New God of the Fourth World being solely responsible for Final Crisis utterly fail when you simply look at Orion's own fall/death. Because Orion's fall/death should have been comparably catastrophic. But it wasn't. At all.
And we're supposed to pretend that Darkseid's possession of the ALE has nothing to do with the stark differentiation here between their respective falls? The ALE that makes you master of existence to the point where existence mirrors your own state of being has little/nothing to do with Final Crisis?
Nah, mang.
