No, it was chosen because it was Leia's, but it was chosen because it was Leia's because she was the rebel they had. If Bail, who was also a rebel, had fallen into their hands, it would have been destroyed because it was his. They just needed a high-profile planet that they had an excuse to target.

The Empire was always going to destroy a planet to demoralise the rebels as soon as the Death Star was operational. Okay, if there never was an Anakin and therefore never was a Leia, maybe it wouldn't have been Alderaan specifically, but that only means it would have been a different planet, not that no planet would have died.

And it could still have been Alderaan, because it could still have been Bail's daughter, because in a universe where he and Breha didn't get handed a baby by Obi-Wan, they might still have adopted the daughter they'd always wanted somewhere else. And since Bail was always a rebel at heart, this theoretical daughter likely would be too, and we could have wound up in exactly the same place.

Alderaan was not Leia's fault, nor directly Anakin's. It was Tarkin's and, further back, Sidious and his Empire's.

I'm not sure why you seem to think that Anakin/Vader was the cause of all the evil in the Star Wars universe. I mean, he is evil, but he's not the start or main driving force of anything. If you wanted to go back in time and save the Star Wars universe by killing someone, you wouldn't do it by killing him, you'd do it by killing Sidious. Preferably before he caught wind of Sifo Dyas and Kamino, and likely before he got anywhere near the Senate. I mean, if you hate Anakin on a personal level as much as you clearly do, and you want to kill him while you're there, by all means murder him in passing while you've got the chance, but if he's the only person you go back in time to kill, you save nothing. Because Anakin isn't the root cause of anything.
