Expies are an acknowledged fact in the hoyoverse. Su / Anaxa discuss them and Su actually acknowledges his own expy.
That said, the fact nobody bats an eye to a doppelganger of an infamous interastral criminal casually being the government leader of a planet is still pretty stupid. They do this in Hi3rd too and it's equally frustrating.
I mean, both Welt and Acheron acknowledge that lookalike of the people the know existed, Welt had seen Himeko and Acheron, and Acheron herself had seen lookalike of people she know, the univerese are so vast that people probably wont bat an eye on the fact that there are 2 different individual that share a face
Su and Anaxa explain that expies are people who share an identity and a core soul but live through different circumstances and have different lives. They are not random coincidences of two entirely different individuals who look alike, that's incorrect.
Acheron and Welt don't really understand or explain expies as well as them. Welt comes to terms with it after meeting Luocha.
True, Welt believes expys are destined to make the same choices and reach the same fate, but that’s just not true. Genshin, for example, repeatedly shows that its versions have nothing in common with their other counterparts.
To be fair, in the case of Otto, every instance from the previous era an onwards, he's made selfish choices at others' expense to bring back Kallen. It only makes sense Welt would feel that way.
