It still could be. The chase could have happened in a alternate timeline as well.

It's what the people who make the show assume that matters.
Well they removed themselves from the past. So the future before they left did not include them. It does now. So it's been at least altered. Not really an assumption actually....now if it created another universe like Spock did in the 2009 film is another matter that is an assumption. One I hope is eventually written into some of the Kurtzman material...
....
Kelvin Timeline had absolutely magical transporters gifted to them by Prime Spock from the late 23rd Century in the Prime Timeline.
That in turn was reverse engineered by Section 31 enabling John "Khan Noonien Singh" Harrison to be able to teleport from a crashing jumpship into the Ketha Province of Q'uonos.
Yet in the 32nd century The Burn(ham) aside Starfleet still needs detached nacelle ships to transport from one system to another.
We'd assume by this time Starfleet has the tech to traverse lightyears by teleport systems or at least reverse engineered some other Iconian outpost.
A thousand years in the future of the future of Star Trek and people still have to be trained in an Academy when all knowledge could be downloaded into future neuralink type implants.
We need new writers and fresh futurists.

So it's a difference that makes no difference at all. It's as much the future of Star Trek as a whole as TNG is the future of TOS.
We dont know if the 32nd centuries past happened exactly as it was shown on tng. They've already changed khan past.
TNG was never really TOS' future.
With all the damn time travel one show cannot lead in to the other. Doctor Who became just as bad later on.

We don't know that TOS happened as-was according to TNG. In Relics, there were a number of discrepancies on the TOS bridge set, and Scotty thought Kirk was alive, meaning is can't be the same continuity as Generations.
...see how stupid this arguments are? Pretend what you want to, but don't try and make it seem like silly headcanons are the intention of the people making the show.
Yeah, you kinda have to go by author intent with this. Otherwise you would have to accept the possibility that every single episode of Trek happens in its own alternate timeline separated by some unknown minor difference from all the other episodes. And that would be kinda silly.
I forget who but we got one member who actually goes with the theory that each episode of Trek is set in a different universe from the others.
How can it not be? She didn’t die or anything. She’s an instructor like Reno.
That's not how sequels work.
Futurism does not interest me at all.
Me neither. Trek is about us through the prism of Science Fiction not predicting the future.
So season one it was a sequel to TOS?
Was a response to the "true sequel" and "alternate timeline" comments
I think we can all agree... that SFA is a spin-off sequel to DSC. 
That was simply the lost % while he was buffering.
If timelines diverge at decision points, they do have common origins.
The events of "The Chase" could have happened in most timelines where Picard existed.
Yes, and given the popularity of the 24th/25th century trek series vastly outstrip the popularity of Discovery it is highly likely that the network executives will eventually openly retcon Discovery 31st century into being an alternate timeline so their isn't the inevitable shadow of The Burn hanging over their more popular shows.
Though of course, Lower Decks already kind of retconned Discovery with it's permanent multi-dimensional gateway.
They could as that is how Burnham got into the Infinity Room.
But the Illuminati like group who's secretly controlling the Federation apparently don't want that technology available to the general public.
