"It is not exactly analogous. ... They actually get to see it as it was."

Fair enough, I overstated. We seem to agree on its existence.

On the other hand it means astronomers have a smaller samples of today's galaxies et cetera.

"Furthermore, the second idea is realizable. We already run primitive ancestor simulations ...".

Yes, we can research some questions by simulations. But we can't simulate what happened, know all the missing factors et cetera, up to the point that it equals what astronomer's observations reveal.
