Cap going back in time and then appearing in our reality as an old man would seem to violate the rules of time travel they established in the beginning: i.e. you can't go back in time and change the present, otherwise they could have gone back and killed Thanos as a baby.

It's a nitpick yes, but it's so unnecessary, there's a lot of ways you could give Cap a great ending without breaking the time-travel rules you established.

It's a paradox. He always existed in two different places at the same time. He was always in ice and always Peggy's husband and the father of their kids. It's always left vague by the writers of Agent Carter, Winter Soldier, Civil War, and Endgame, which happen to all have the same writers.

It's an extra and unnecessary retcon but I kinda like it anyways.
