I think the Eminence had watched for so long he forgot his purpose, which is to ask the question, What If...? (Or obverse the unknown.)

When the episode opens we get Uatu's backstory and even he asks the question of why do they watch. The Eminence explains that only after watching will he understand.

In many ways the Eminence had the same problem as Infinity Ultron. Infinity Ultron destroyed everything, because with everything destroyed nothing would be in conflict and nothing would change. We hear Uatu say that the Eminence has seen everything, every version of events.

Except he hadn't. He hasn't seen the world's that Uatu changed. Those changes, those conflict, bothered him. And if course by the end he ends up in Strange's Universe. A Universe he's never been in. He, like Ultron, assumes death is the only answer.

The role of the Watcher is to watch, but it's also to know when to interfere. Just because something can happen doesn't mean it will. The role of the Watcher is to ensure what can happen, does. To ponder the question, What If...?
