Retcon.
With the exception of the ending montage that showed the various Enterprises, we never actually saw an exterior shot of the NX-01 during the entire final episode.
We can now simply assume that the montage shot is taken out of context and not representative of now the ship appears in 2161.
Season 5 happened, we simply didn’t see it

I find it interesting when folks make this statement, as they seem to miss the fact that it works both ways.

Definition:
it is impossible to explain why different people like different things, especially those things that the speaker considers unappealing.
That sums up much of my Trek fan experience
Not exterior, but a diagram of the ship in its original configuration:

So if we assume the holoprogram is historically accurate (which, despite the ridiculous story, it has never been confirmed NOT to be), then the NX-01 was in its original configuration when it was decommissioned.
Fair enough. While I usually do maintain a... somewhat sarcastic attitude, I still feel the expression was appropriate for the subject at hand. That said, I assure you, no ill will was intended.Yeah, especially when use in a sarcastic manner.

That's not conclusive. As recently as Beyond and Discovery, computer displays have shown old or nonexistent versions of the ships they're on, and that's not even getting into all the TOS diagrams on the bridge of the Enterprise for the first three movies.
That’s a valid point. Trust me; I would rather have had the ship look like the refit than the original version. And I certainly hate TATV enough to not take what I saw as gospel if someone wanted to change it. But unless there’s concrete evidence that the ship looked like the refit in TATV (which there isn’t at present), I’m assuming that it didn’t. Which still leaves the question of why it was refit after it was decommissioned.
To that end, how many historical films are there that actually show everything 100% historically accurate? Most WW2 films have incorrect planes doubling for the ones used in the period. A holonovel version of events 200 years in the past would undoubtedly streamline things in much the same way… which is also why I don’t buy Trip dying, but that’s a whole different topic.
Riker's holodeck program wasn't 100% historically accurate. Or they only planned to decommission the NX-01 when they said they would, but changed their minds later. Or recommissioned it for some reason.
Since when? Movies always depict things perfectly accurately and never for any dramatic reason!
Whether the program was historically accurate or not, the fact is that Kirk's ship was supposed to be the first Federation starship Enterprise. Therefore they had to decommission the NX-01 before the formation of the Federation. So either the holoprogram was accurate, or the ship was used as a non-Starfleet, non-Federation ship after 2161.
I think that may be the only way the phrase gets used anymore.Yeah, especially when use in a sarcastic manner.
Well there's no accounting for taste.
