Alduin does not seek to end the world in the Main Quest. That is Alduin's role, his purpose for existence, but he's been defying it since the Dragon Wars.

The "end of the world" isn't actually a bad thing in TES.

Correct.

His role is meant as a hard reset of Nirn, and it has been done countless times before. (Resets everything to the point were Lorkhan's Heart landed in Vvardenfell.)

Unless C0DA turns out to be true and the Altmer do end up perma-breaking reality. :/
