I mean... that’s kind understandable? Regardless of where you stand on withdrawal, leaving the Kurds to their fate at the hands of their big fascist neighbor to the north would be a bitter pill to swallow. I know that US interventionism being the “good guy” is entirely by accident, mind you.
I personally want the US to pull out no-brakes otherwise since the MIC cannot be trusted for a “gradual” withdrawal but... I don’t know.
Hence “by accident”. When you’re being cornered by a hungry wolf, you’d give just about anything for something to come between you two. In this case, the US.
Erdogan is currently attacking all their cities he hasn't already taken over. In occupied areas, Kurds are expelled, their property seized, and reports of rapes and murder are frequent. Had the US troops stayed, that wouldn't be the case, so I'd say no, Kurds wouldn't be worse of.

The USA isn't there to save the Kurds. They're there to stop Syria and Russia laying pipelines.
Do you think Chomsky believes that the US went there to save the Kurds?
Chomsky is saying the US "should" do it. Not that they did so earlier
