As I've understand it, it isn't so that The-One-Above-All isn't the actual writer, but a written representator of him.
And in a sense Beyonder's purpose was to illustrate the power the writer had over the story.

Actually Ut,
it was Tom DeFalco (Editor-in chief after Shooter) that planned Beyonder's retcon,
and it was only DeFalco that had the editorial power to do it.
Writer's can't retcon anything without chief Editorial confirmation.

I disagree.
Toaa/god is a character in comics that has a set representative value,
classic Beyonder was detached from what Toaa/god represents,
but more importantly, from Toaa/god created/ruled over.
Remember, per Classic canon facts,
the Beyonder was Not created by Toaa/god,
the Beyonder simply always was (a god unto himself)
in his own separate Multiverse,
completely detached/separated from all of Marvel at the time (the Prime Multiverse)
The Beyonder was in the Beyond Realm
what Toaa/god is withIN the current and/or Post retcon Marvel Omniverse,
that being ... absolute Supreme being, author of all that is in his respective Reality,
as Toaa/god are/is, author of all that is in their respective Reality.
So again,
this is why only Editorial staff (the Editor-in Chief in fact) was the only one able to retcon,
a Writer can Not overwrite what an Editor-in chief cements as fact.
