The conversation with the Ancient One focuses on stones since they was what he was trying to get from her. But it applies to any changes from time travel, per Banner’s rebuttal to Rhodey’s suggestion of going back in time to kill baby Thanos. Going back in the past doesn’t change your present that you left. To that point, Cap just being in the universe/timeline after going back to be with Peggy would be a change to his old present (current MCU timeline) - regardless of whether he stayed hidden or not.

It’s important that they keep those rules consistent because of not they fall to the same time travel paradox plot hole that almost every movie does when they try doing it. If Cap could go back in time, marry Peggy, and still grow old in the same universe then what ended up happening to her other husband and kids? Was he her husband all along? Again, that would be a time paradox. The only way you can do time travel and not fall to that plot hole is to go with the separate timeline/universe theory in which he created a new branch of the timeline in which HE was Peggy’s husband.
