Even after what I said, that’s just weak writing. Or maybe just wishful thinking on their part.
They (“they” meaning Alex Kurtzman & Akiva Goldsman) keep pushing that and other major events back because they want our timeline to be the Star Trek timeline. It is not, it was never suppose to be. (A crying shame, but I digress.) Star Trek’s timeline deviated from real life back in the 1970s. Which means all potential timelines that forked from it also deviated.
I worry they’ll keep pushing things back until they no longer means anything to that timeline’s lore. shrug
SNW explicitly says that the timeline is always in flux because of time travel.
Spoiler
For example Khan’s birth keeps getting postponed
