Very much this. If you're going to create an alternate world based on a change in history you have to explain why it should turn out as it has. Why would sans Hitler result in a more homophobic America? There are many potential impacts to the change he proposed, but he just skimmed over them so that as a specifically alternative history story this was quite unsatisfying.
