Death is God's equal. To say that Michael needed every angel to lock away Death is saying that every angel put together is as powerful as God.

My point is that Billie seemed to be afraid of Michael, when she should find his power mildly amusing, yet ultimately irrelevant when measured up against hers.

I'd also like to add that the "main villain tries to be/surpass God" trope is getting boring at this point. It started in season 5, then 9, then 11, then 12, then 13, and now 14. That's almost half the seasons in the show.

Gabriel's grace didn't work, true, but the spell could be refined.
