As you said she"manipulated the timeline....quite a big difference as oppose to destroying realities or anything we've seen performed on-panel from the IG.
It was stated on panel that she amputated that timeline telekinetically. The handbooks referenced this event and said she absorbed it into the White Hot Room.
You obviously have not read the scene.
It states quite clearly in the handbooks that Jean Grey can manipulate an atomic structure on a universal scale:

This was an update on her old bio. What appearance betwen her old bio and her latest depicted Jean manipulating the atoms of the universe?
"Total telekinetic control of all those atoms"

On the contrary. There is exactly that. All Thanos did was beat down on some abstracts and fight to gain control over a little universe Phoenix held within her palm and had complete telekinetic control of.
As for your point regarding the Ultraverse crossover, you are illustrating your lack of knowledge regarding the nature of the Phoenix.
The Phoenix Force is many things both within reality and outside reality. But one of those things is the formless, ambient life energies of reality that flow through all life. The Force acts within reality either through a human host or through its Firebird avatar. The Firebird is not the sum total of the Phoenix, it is an avatar. A small representation of it within reality.

"The Phoenix avatar"
Dont presume that the firebird is the full Phoenix.
The Phoenix Force is the sum of all life force in reality. If all of the Force was summed up in that bird form then how can life exist anywhere else?
Just like, Eternity is the sum of the physical universe. Do you believe the black humanoid figure he appears as is all there is to him?
