[MCU] In Endgame, Thanos said that after he did the Snap, the Infinity Stones served as "nothing but temptation". What did he mean by that?

Two things:

One, if the Stones existed, someone would try to take them and use them, either to undo the Snap, or to achieve some other goal. Thanos didn't want that to happen.

Two, Thanos had achieved, in his own mind, universal perfection, but he realized that great men have trouble when there are no more great things to do. If he retained the Stones, he would be tempted to tinker, making changes, subtle and large, to the universe, and that would risk upsetting the perfection he had created.
