He could have snapped and make everyone to be smarter and learn about contraceptives and family planning.

Galactic population also would have been right back where it was in, at most, a few centuries. It was a stopgap solution at best. And his comics motivation wasn't anything noble; he just wanted to bang Death and thought omnicide would turn her on.

I don't know about the comics, but there is real life result from having better education curtailing overpopulation. The Earth's population as we speak is expected to plateau, as the rest of the developing countries are catching up economically and becoming better educated. I don't see why the galactic population can't be the same.

It can't be the same because Thanos needs it to not be the same. Thanos is still trying to win an argument with a dead planet. It's not about the truth, it's not about helping people. It's about winning an argument. That is Thanos' entire motivation. He wants to be right and he wants everyone who disagreed with him to be wrong.
