A key point to remember is per the 52 multiverse itself was formed out of hypertime and the changes in it were also the result of hypertime.

I should mention if you look back at the Pre-Crisis multiverse you see something very similar (if not identical) to the 52 multiverse: one Earth divided into a multitude of "parallel" Earths each with its own set of timelines.

More over DC (and Marvel as well) didn't (and still doesn't) really have a good handle on the difference between parallel reality and alternate timeline and use the terms interchangeably.

For example, was Earth-AD really two similar parallel realities separate from Earth-One or were they actually timelines for a 30th century Earth-One that didn't lead to the Legion? If the former then how does make any sense as it is expressly stated that the 30th century Superman travels to is one of the futures of Earth-One?

Then you have Earth-Thirty-Two which according to DC Challenge had Guardians who lived on Oa. One big problem with that; Oa was supposedly unique to Earth-One...which means Earth-Thirty-Two was actually an alternate timeline of Earth-One and not a "parallel" reality.

Remember prevented the Pre-Crisis multiverse from being "destroyed" in the first place: "Each world has evolved, but they all still exist." But if all the Pre-Crisis multiverse worlds exist even in an "evolved" form (with each reality having its own set of timelines how does that work?) this is totally at odds with there being only 52 universes.

"[DC Co-Publisher Dan DiDio] just said, you've got to do something with this. You can't just say there's another Multiverse and then do nothing with it," Morrison said, then explained that he told Dan DiDio that actually, there are an endless number of Multiverses in the DCU. - (MORRISON Divulges 'Weird' Stories For BATMAN: BLACK & WHITE and MULTIVERSITY TOO)
