They literally just made her your typical dipshit rich asshole who set the world on fire, then hid in their bunkers as it burned.
Literally, that is the smartest person they can make. Which makes no fucking sense. It's so stupid that it hurts.
Here's a few examples of what could have been smarter plans:
A) SUPER-EARTH: Sage works with Homelander to propagate Compound V to loyal followers, streamlining the formula and making it easier to give to normal humans who have grown up. The final plan is to create an entire planet where humanity uses Compound V to evolve as a species, the only thing Homelander would ask for in exchange for the Compound V is loyalty. Meanwhile, Soldier Boy and the new Black Noir form a shadow kill team meant to take out any supe or group that goes against the new regime. Homelander becomes the president of "Super Earth" while his pop takes out any supe who looks at him funny.
With the entire human population evolved into superheroes, they will obviously look to the strongest heroes for leadership, that being Homelander and his pop. Homelander serves as the face of Super-Earth, Soldier Boy serves as its fist. Homelander wears the smile and the endearing personality, Soldier Boy goes for the jugular and gets rid of anything that can be considered a threat.
That way, Butcher cannot release the virus without accidentally killing off the entire human race.
B) CHRISTIAN EMPIRE: Instead of Homelander claiming to be God, have him instead say that he is anointed by God, and that God told him to save America. He has the current president step down and he takes over, goes full Palpatine and reorganizes America into a Christian Empire with himself as Emperor. That way, he still keeps his religious base, and he enforces the Faith as a way to unite the country; creating a new national ethic based on faith, hope, and love.
Homelander is anointed as Emperor John the First, taking the name after the Apostle and after his old self. He establishes a new Imperial state with all sorts of positions for people to fill in, from military, to manufacturing, to bureaucratic, and Homelander uses it as a make-work project to give people jobs and a way to make money, ensuring that the citizens will be loyal to their emperor because he signs their paycheck. Tons of millennials and Gen Z people who have no job prospects sign up, and as a result, you have a large, powerful government, united by faith, and staffed with people loyal to the crown, all under Homelander's control.
That way, Butcher cannot release the virus without even the normies of the world wanting to lynch him, since a lot of them, especially the young, will be loyal to Emperor John/Homelander because he gave them a job that can provide for a family.
C) VOUGHT CORPORATE STATE: As opposed to Super Earth or a religious empire, Homelander and Vought turn America and the world into a corporate state, a la Japan and South Korea. With the president under their control, they neuter the state to the point where it no longer can hamper corporate operations and monopolies, allowing rich families from all over the country and the globe to assert their power. The supes work with oligarchs and business leaders across the globe to create a free trade zone that eventually encompasses the entire planet.
You have American business leaders sharing a bunk with Japanese Zaibatsus, Korean Chaebols, Russian oligarchs, British and Spanish royals, Chinese Communist Party heads, Arab Emirs, and Vought under Homelander and Sage work with them to ensure a new economic free zone where business is unimpeded by things like laws and regulations. These rich folk bring their nations' military might to add to the superheroes' strength, and together, they go off to neuter any government that tries to stop them.
Homelander brings back Stan Edgar and decides to work with him on this, creating a world where corporations cannot be stopped, where they have a private army of superheroes a la the Pinkertons, enforcing corporate edicts like pulling eminent domain on some squatters to build a mall where their shacks are, or putting down protesters stopping corporations from drilling for oil or building new nuclear reactors. Profit comes first, and while some people object to the new world, the amount of jobs created by corporate expansion offsets the naysayers, giving younger people a chance to get a job that can pay for a family.
The result is a Bladerunner-esque cyberpunk world where corporations are the new government, and where Supes retain their celebrity status as it was in Season 1, where they sell action figures, video games, movies, and all sorts of merchandise for all the Supes, like Soldier Boy selling men's deodorant, Firecracker selling women's underwear, Sage selling school gear, or the Deep selling specialized sushi. And you have prospective candidates for Supes going through a new Godolkin school, where they are injected with Compound V, and if they succeed and become bigshot heroes, they can also become rich; it becomes the new American Dream, for a poor person to work hard, become a superhero, and make their own brand.
Each of the top Supes become business leaders, and they all take after Stan Edgar in managing their brands and contracts. Corporate control of the media and the constant materialist advertising keep the people in a state of materialistic fulfillment similar to the lotus eaters, where they rush to buy the next product, and they spend whatever meager wages they earn on the next shiny boondoggle to come out of Vought's asshole.
Of course, with big pharma corporations in on their gig, they get a sample of Butcher's virus from one of the supes it killed, and they quickly create an antidote that makes it useless.

There. Three plans that are way smarter than the shit they wrote for Sage.
