1. Those writers are now the guys who
decide what is and is not canonical.
2. If they say that a line onscreen meant that the prime timeline still exists, then that's what that line means. Period.
3. They have said that a canonical line about alternate timelines means that the original timeline still exists.
4. Ergo, canonically, the original timeline still exists.
