If she had simply resigned from her position when she began experiencing health issues, it would have allowed her successor to be nominated and approved under a democratic administration.

There's no guarantee that would have happened. See Mitch McConnell and Merrick Garland

    Hell even if she had resigned and they got a democrat in, GOP would just wait for their next chance. The current state of the US has been in the works for several decades now, I find it hard to believe that RBG's decision had any influence over it; it would have just delayed the inevitable.
