How does sedevacantism make any logical sense?

Lay people shouldn't even be addressing or thinking about this issue

they concocted a theory called sedeprivationism which means the pope is materially the pope but not formally.

Lol that's a stupid argument. During the Arian controversy, should I just have listened to my Arian Bishop? The fact is that the final great apostasy, promised in scripture, has to be a lot bigger than the Arian controversy. As it's clear you can't rely on your Priest (I've had multiple priests tell me straight up heresy, in homilies and regarding the mass) and many Bishops speak and promote heresy too. These are not normal times. But this is the thing, really the non-sede position is quite bizarre. They literally say the Pope can start worshipping Odin and Krishna, and yet will remain the Pope and has full papal powers and can even pronounce things ex cathedra, while saying that Jesus is garbage and Odin is almighty. Is this really a reasonable position? This is a very wacky position and it's not well supported, but that's what they believe. They believe that no one can judge the Pope for heresy or apostasy. So unless the Pope resigns the Odin worshipping Cow urine drinking Krishna loving Pope is still Pope and has full jurisdiction over the whole Catholic faith.

Something is just not right with that position.

To clarify, non-sedes say that the Pope literally does not have to be Catholic. Now tell me where the logic is in that. The Pope can be a Buddhist or Hindu or Moslem? Now that's a weird religion you follow, where the highest position in your religion that everyone must submit do doesn't even have to be part of your religion, but can be a part of another religion which is hostile to you. That's one weird religion.

There are like a dozen western rite parishes in all of North America. This isn't a viable option for 99% of people.

Sedeprivation. Basically the pope's heresy doesnt remove him from the papacy, but suspends his powers until he repents

Western Rite could replace Anglicanism

Sedevacantist organizations are also few. If following the Western Rite is not important to you, there's literally nothing wrong with the Eastern Rite.

I'm increasingly convinced that sedeprivationism/Cassiciacum thesis is correct to be quite honest, fam.
