I dont understand how one can come to this conclusion. Especially since this book states that they are in the same universe, but you dont need the book to know this.

Loki is primarily set within the TVA's headquarters, which explicitly exists outside of the "Sacred Timeline" (the MCU), and deals with alternate timelines that branch off from the Sacred Timeline. The Loki variant we follow throughout isn't the Loki of the MCU, who died in Infinity War, but one who diverged from that history during the events of The Avengers (as shown in Endgame and the start of his series).

What If? is all about timelines that branched off from the MCU at various points. None of them are the MCU itself.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness starts and ends in the MCU, but Stephen Strange, America Chavez, and Wanda Maximoff all cross universes throughout most of the movie.

The various alternate universes on display in those works (as well as those shown in the Spider-Verse movies, the Venom/Morbius universe, the other Spider-Man movie universes that the villains and other Spideys came from in No Way Home, etc.) are not themselves the MCU, but they have ties to the MCU, and they all share the Marvel Multiverse.
