And how does destroying King’s landing reduce Jon’s threat? It doesn’t, arguably the twist was introduced to help her go crazy. From a plot standpoint, it was unnecessary as her descent to madness was happening anyway. Even the shows writers broached this when mentioning her reaction to her brothers death. And Tyrion recounted all of her other atrocities.
The story might have been better served ending with the revelation of Jon’s lineage, instead of introducing it is a major turning point and having it mean so little.

Not sure if you are serious?
It changed the way Dany approached everything.
It changed the way Jon approached everything, at least with respect to auntie lovin'.
It changed the way Varys approached everything.
It changed the way Tyrion approached everything.
There is no one else at the head of her army. It fundamentally changed everything for everyone that mattered and completely changed the course of events. If this info is kept quiet, I can't see anything legitimately happening except her ruling the 7 kingdoms.
9ne can argue if Bran was manipulating an outcome or just making sure all the game players had perfect information. This is debatable. I can't see how the rest is.
