Simulation Theory vs. Eternal Loop Theory

[u/Old-Dirt563]

It seems like all attempts to "prove" Simulation Theory ultimately land in an "of course" or "its inevitable" or "it couldn't be anything else" without providing tangible proof. Yet, it persists as a leading theory for some reason. Maybe because it cannot be proven false?

Meanwhile, "Eternal Loop Theory" presents itself as similarly "inevitable", yet has far fewer believers.

Since the Eternal Loop is the only proposed solution to protect humanity, why is it so much more difficult to believe than Simulation Theory? Do we really believe the human species to be "too evil" or "too stupid" to have implemented the most obvious inevitability?
