The Tribunal and the phoenix-

All it can do is deny it from returning to its host.

Its doing this for the sake of the multiverse.

that pretty much implies that without the phoenix the multiverse would be in jeopardy.

While he could have easily destroyed the planet he didn't and he doesn't stop the phoenix for any other reason then to prevent it from returning to its human host. that implies he cannot stop the phoenixs work anymore then he could stop his own.

Unlike the other abstracts in which he has in fact stopped and even threatened them with destruction a few times.. but the tribunal has never threatened the phoenix, only merely delayed it for brief few seconds before letting it go. That implies and understanding that nothing else in the series has with the tribunal.
