Well that's fine for you, but what about when other peoples' lives are at stake? Why bother saving someone when you know there's an equally weighted universe where you fail anyway, and vise versa? There are good philosophical answers to these questions, and I'd like to see multiverse stories grapple with them, now that the novelty of seeing all the actors who played a given role has started to wear a little thin.
The only me's death I care about is my own.
I see no difference in the question being asked if the people are in this universe, a different one or multiple.
Are the lives of others worth more than yours? Is the same in both cases.
