Not sure anyone's made it a big deal. It is something to talk about.
It is the pro-Prime folks who seem very sensitive to anyone questioning what universe it takes place in.
Kelvin Timeline all but confirmed

Not sure I agree with this. It has a 6.2 liter V8. What more do you want from an SS? It takes 4.5 seconds to go 0-60, but that's pretty good for a car its size. Quite a bit slower than the Charger Hellcat's 3.4 though.
I'm thinking it has to be Prime for the very meta reason that CBS doesn't own the Abramsverse, Paramount does. It's probably nothing more than a licensing thing. All TV-based stuff is CBS, which is Prime. All feature film stuff is Paramount, which is alt-timeline. I don't really think it's any more convoluted than that. What it looks like aesthetically, however, is a very different story.
Sorry, but Enterprise is firmly ensconced in the TOS-TNG-DS9-VOY timeline. DSC probably will be, too.
CBS still owns the licence to the Kelvin Timeline stuff as it falls under the umbrella of Star Trek.
But Paramount probably has a deal or something with them for exclusivity.
For example, Star Trek Online has Kelvin Timeline stuff, but it is a licensed CBS product.

Since when? Even though, in-universe, it technically predates the Prime timeline, the characters and ships and Kelvin concept belongs to the Abramsverse from a licensing POV. Ergo, Paramount.
I said Kelvin Timeline, the official name for that universe, I wasn't talking about the ship.
The CBS Consumer Products website has the KT movies listed under its properties.

IIRC, basically Paramount makes the films. CBS owns the property.
True.
but there is no mention of anything from ENT in the TOS-TNG-DS9-VOY timeline. So for my own personal continuity I like to place it in the Kelvin timeline where it is referenced.
Yes, it is. Not sure why ENT would be written out of that timeline, other than "didn't like it."
If that's the case, could I write off all the episodes and series I didn't like as "not Star Trek?"
Honestly, I think that Star Trek production team is stuck in the interminable battle of:
"You can(not) advance."
Maybe not in the canon, but CBS considers it Prime Timeline for all licensed products.
Also the fact the final episode of the series ties directly into TNG.
Well as unless we can time travel IRL, it would be pretty damned odd to see a show not written for another decade be talked about in the older shows.
Sure, and I can too. But, that has no bearing on CBS and their choices, nor my own personal enjoyment of the material. If that's the case, than anything post TOS is not in my continuity.
The differences from TOS to TMP didn't damage my enjoyment of the film, and same with changes from TMP to TWOK.
One of the planets named 'Archer' in I think TNG, was retconned be named after, well Archer.
If that's the case, could I write off all the episodes and series I didn't like as "not Star Trek?"

I know many people do ignore episodes that do not like in their own personal continuity. For example, I completely ignore, in fact have never seen, the episode that tries to explain why the Klingons were smooth headed in TOS. To me that wasn't necessary.
