How come Nero wasn't stopped by the USS Relativity?

USS Relativity and the 29th cnetury timecops can only deal with changes to the timeline caused by someone/something else from the 29th century.
Case in point, in Futre's End Captain Braxton tries to destroy Voyager because of it apparentally being involved in Earth's destruction, which we later learn would have been caused while they were fighting Henry Starling while flying his 29th century timeship.
Then in the episode Relativity, Braxton and his crew are trying to prevent Voyager's destruction caused by someone from the 29th century, which we later learn is Braxton anyway.
The real question that should be asked here is why didn't Crewman Daniels and his "Temporal Agents" deal with this. After all, his people had mastery over the whole timeline. Daniels was from the 31st century, went back to the 22nd to deal with the Suliban who were taking orders from Future Guy from the 28th century. Then he took Archer to the 26th century to watch the Enterprise J fight the Sphere Builders and later took the entire NX-1 crew back to the 20th century so that they could fight the Alien Nazis from the 29th century.
But, perhaps it's best we just forget the whole Temporal Cold War. Just writing that paragraph I put more thought into it than anyone on Enterprise's writing staff ever did.

Captain Braxton probably sabotaged the ship somehow, as usual....
Just can't trust that guy!
Braxton IS Nero. Duh duh daaa!
They have in a way in a little episode called "The Chase".
Why didn't the Relativity appear when Janeway went back and altered time in Endgame?
The real answer to why the Relativity didn't appear in the new film was that they wanted the film to be popular and successful.

I think TVH made it very clear the sun method is very risky and and the Jellyfish might be too small to do it..
Whatever you want to call this new movie (a restart, a reboot, a reimagining, etc.), this thread is an example of why they had to go back to the beginning and slough off all of that ridiculous Trek baggage. With all the time travel and loopholes and resets, especially in the later series, it becomes obvious that there are enough do-gooders in the universe with enough power to prevent any malicious acts. Nothing of any consequence will ever happen again (that can't be undone), so Starfleet would, in fact, become a fleet of Love Boats in space (like the old skit - was it on SNL?).
Going back to the beginning and shedding that huge collection of millstones around the neck of Trek is a wise decision. Of course, I haven't seen the movie yet, so the question is whether I'm even going to like it. Regardless of that, I think that this is the way they had to go. Get out of the old quagmire and bring back the old pop-culture icons that everyone knows.
I do wish that time travel had not been incorporated at all, but I think that they took a calculated risk by bringing in Nimoy to hook the old-timers, like myself.
