Every show, not just Enterprise, had canon problems... Even the shows themselves contradicted themselves eventually, including the Original Trek...
Hell, the original trek, even contradicted historical scientific fact... I just re-watched "Court Martial", for the half dozenth time. We knew all too well, that in 1966, that objects could orbit the Earth for months, if not years, before it's orbit would decay... and yet, a 23rd century starship, in standard orbit, would start to deorbit a planet, in minutes, if the engines were turned off? Talk about laughable!
Sulu was freezing to death on a planet, because the transporters couldn't be him up... And yet, no shuttles, no probes, no long rope, to get him some hot coffee, blankets, winter clothes, or additional phasers to heat rocks with?
And this show is what you base your whole CANON thing on? ROTFWL!
The biggest problem with ENTERPRISE was that it was a prequel show, and that it contradicted your expectations and nostalgia.
When a show can't keep itself straight over a 4 to 7 year period, then no one can keep perfect records of events that took place 100 or 200 years earlier...
FYI, While the Ferengi, Borg, & Romulan, episodes (A big argument against Enterprise) bent canon severely, it didn't break it... The Ferengi never mentioned their species, The Borg never said: "We Are The BORG", and the crew didn't have visual communications with the Romulans...
Did you know that 7of9 of Voyager, was assimilated by the Borg, BEFORE the first episode of TNG, and long before Q introduced the Enterprise to the Borg?
Where is the hate for Voyager, for contradicting TNG?
Star Trek is famous for all kinds of bad record keeping, and Time Travel...
Who knows what really happened over the years...
Now take a look at what DISCOVERY is doing...
#1 on the list... Spock has an adopted sister? The biggest Starfleet Mutineer in history... And no mention of her, before now?
And the list goes on...
