However, even the changing history explanation does not work, as there are differences pre-temporal incursion. Even the movie has this problem within itself, though in a multiverse of Trek physics and Q-like beings you can explain away anything.

well anything pre temporal incursion can be explained away too, ill get to that in a second, but if I'm not mistaken, I don't remember them mentioning a single thing that happened before the movie started, the romulans come, kirks dad dies.
now you can explain away things that happened previously to kirks dad dying the same way you can anything else, using time travel. 1 point that is small, going my voyager, remember that the tech boom of the late 20th century was caused when bill gates stole a star ship from the 29th* century.
so, Kirks dad dies, Kirk isn't captain of Enterprise on time and he meets scotty much earlier then they are supposed to, Scotty who is stuck in transport or a pod or something comes up on TNG a few days earlier, since now all of history (or future) is a bit early. Siskos Wife wasn't Killed at Worf 359 so when he is on his way to DS9, he's not mad at Picard, Picard has some drinks at quarks with Sisko now, and worf gets a bit roudy on blood wine and he rips one of quarks ears off making him deaf in one ear that bashir cant fix, FF 4 yearss later, He doesn't over hear harry kim looking for a gift, so paris doesn't stop harry from buying anything shady from quark, Paris and Kim don't become friends right away, and paris Defects early and runs off with seska, FF a few more years to when voyager gos back to late 20th century earth, Paris doesn't flirt with sarah silverman, so they spend a few more days on earth than they mean to cause they don't get what they need from the telescopes computers cause tuvok gets caught by security. in that time bill gates gets away, but we still destroy the ship. bill comes up with more tech over the years, Hence, this is why the new star trek looks so much better
