Apr 1, 2022 at 6:01 comment added broccoli forest @max I'd rather now say "why don't just --?", but anyway it's quite rhetorical, for example ケーキを食べればいいじゃない "Let them eat cake!", 妹さえいればいい A Sister's All You Need. The reason of the wide range of meanings is because of いい: its subject and definition are ambiguous; "I - feel good" or "you - are fine" or "it - turns out well" etc.
