I know, the original Locutus costume looked different, especially the eye piece, but still... there is some resemblance to our beloved Admiral.

It could be any humanoid species. The Cube wasn't all Romulans.
PIC is different but still respects canon and continuity(minus the DSC Enterprise hologram but I can head canon that away and live with it). Different in this case is good. It's been 20 years in the timeline since the events of NEM. Both Picard and Starfleet have changed in a post-Dominion War galaxy where the Federation is still likely finding its place as probably the only superpower in the quadrant.
I know, Ex Astris, but these articles are quite good. They're just observations, they don't have any rants or comments on the observations, just pointing things out. Some things I didn't notice.

Like, for example, in Children of Mars (and some early Picard trailers) you see the Starbase above Mars being blown up, but in the final version of the attack seen in Picard itself, the Starbase has no explosions on it at all.

DSC isn't canon?
No, it is. I just wish they'd shown the TOS ship instead and head canon why they didn't use that hologram.
the TOS ship was recast years ago
Because they hate Star Trek.
NCC 1701, the USS Brophy
The warp core ran on tranya.
I imagine Brian Brophy had no idea what he was getting into when he wasn't contacted to reprise his role...
Is pushing the envelope all that's survived from Roddenberry? It seemed as if earth and the Federation was united at one time but now there are deep divides from the maquis, the pegasus, insurrection, all of ds9, etc. Am I caught in the past by liking Picard's ethics and influence over others vs the new heros in tv and movies who always have to be broken
Illegal mining of non-Federation worlds, proxy wars on pre-contact planets, super diseases evolving in the highly sanitized environments of the Federation, the list goes on, lunatics that will butcher their own colonies. TOS, the place that it started. To paraphrase a certain wizard, pay no attention to that Federation behind the curtain.

I know it's probably rhetorical, but...yes... maybe... a little bit
The simplest solution that pleases both parties is: We have no idea what the Enterprise looked like when she was launched in 2245. So you can believe it's either the Disco Enterprise or Captain April's Enterprise. Leaving that fork in the road keeps it agnostic.
Yep. Like I said. Head canon. Works for me.
Hell, the Enterprise-D library computer didn't even display the correct look of the ship in the original 1987 broadcast of "The Naked Now(TNG)."
Kinda makes sense if it showed the latest configuration of the ship rather than one in the time of the event.
I don't know, if the history of the 101st Airborne Division were posted online and a World War II exploit were described in detail I wouldn't want the accompanying photograph next to the chapter to have a photo of a C-5 transport and soldiers boarding the ramp with M-16s or M-4s.
