the thing about the cowe's power is that it rewrites past and eats future individually, not fate per se, so even though Hana, for example, is Reimu's heir and has her fate bound to Yukari and many others, Keine can still use her powers on her. It's like an attempt at true manip of fate like Remilia's, but downgraded and much more high-maintenance.
a good way to put it would be:
rewrite of past
>Hana has the last milisecond of her mind manipulated so, for the next minute, she'll want to only walk in circles
>Yukari comes and, as Hana walks in circles, she grabs her hand and leads Hana to walk normally, despite the time remaining
>the manip breaks because of interferance Keine doesn't have control over, as Yukari is beyond her powers
eating of future
>Hana's body is walking forward, but Keine eats the next 10 seconds of her walking forward, so Hana literally cannot go forward for 10 secs, despite her wanting to still move forward
>Yukari comes, grabs her hand, and leads her forward, despite the timer
>the future rewrites itself because of Yukari's interferance
apply the second example to Anon (outside the HSE) and, say, Keine eats any instance of him eating meat in the future. He still enjoys eating it, but won't do so for reasons he doesn’t understand… until Sanae comes with some cool meat dish and spoon-feeds him some of it, the changes Keine made are erased, and his future readjusts. Same goes for Hana in the walking forward example: if she just turns 360° 180° and moonwalks, she can still follow the path she was on.
There are ways to circumvent that (example: going with his mind being weak and prone to manip), like rewriting the past so, in the future, Anon becomes vegetarian and, by his volition, denies it when Sanae offers the meat. He can be convinced to go back to eating meat by someone stronger than Keine, as they aren’t affected by her rewriting of history/eating of future.
For comparison, Remilia's manip of fate would make Anon never eat meat again, even if it's the only thing there is to eat, and he'd die without explicit further manipulation
it's like a puzzle Keine's power, where she has to gauge if she can or not interfere with the subject's history, if the subject not human but a concept/thing, then if she can or not rewrite its history or eat its future like she did with the revolver after Mr. Hieda died, with the ever-present possibility of someone stronger than her coming into play and basically undoing all of her changes, the power becoming more and more a Damocles sword as the rewrites/eatings accumulate
enough to make someone go mad…
>tl;dr: Keine’s powers try to be Remilia's, but they fail. Remilia is still da best.
sorry for the lengthy explanation.

if he were to become a god, though, it'd take a long time—maybe even decades—to accumulate enough faith, and by that time he probably would've already rebuilt his life and have a good ending.
>Like that joke about Gensokyo becoming centered around Sekai
it is a joke, after all. Sekai has shown no desire to become the figurehead of Gensokyo; she's a kid after all and wants to visit China with her cool metaphysical mothers and, funnily enough, that her dysfunctional parents don't get a divorce and so on. Can't talk for everyone, but that's my view on it.
