Anyone who does anything with game/hack programming, as well as people who record videos for youtube, all these people know just how problematic Nintendo is with their copyrighted stuff. The hack wasn't made with the intention to earn money, and Nintendo probably didn't care to mess with him back then, but if it becomes canon that Sans is actually Ness, Toby Fox will likely be very screwed. Again, why would he risk that over a game he put so much of himself into? If he don't use any character designs, names or overt plot elements in the product or marketing they can't touch him.

Compared to, say, Undyne he kinda doesn't. The only things that really sets him off is killing Papyrus and trying to end the world. Even in some versions of the Leaderless ending (where you have killed everyone he knows) he still say "see yah" rather than "go to hell". Also the fights in Earthbound are under very different circumstances than those in Undertale, and even then you don't actually kill a lot of the enemies. Many of them just "goes back to normal" in one way or the other.

In addition to what Yossipossi says he is also (as stated near the end of a Genocide run) somewhat aware of the different timelines and has more or less given up on trying to fix them.
