Understand

We show that a positive cosmological constant is incompatible with the quantum-corpuscular resolution of de Sitter metric in form of a coherent state.

The reason is very general and is due to the quantum self-destruction of the coherent state because of the scattering of constituent graviton quanta.
This process creates an irreversible quantum clock, which precludes eternal de Sitter.
It also eliminates the possibility of Boltzmann brains and Poincare recurrences.
