The definition of mitigate is to maintain how things are without changing to make better.

The definition you provided for "mitigate" is not quite accurate. To mitigate means to make something less severe, serious, or painful. It involves taking actions to reduce the impact or severity of a problem, rather than merely maintaining the status quo. For example, a company might implement safety measures to mitigate workplace accidents, or a government might introduce policies to mitigate economic downturns.
