Its not that you could never leave, its that most people don't WANT to leave.
And the timeline in PIC is Q's work. And Picard is very much not in control of it, neither literally nor figuratively

It could very well be that the Nexus is a gateway of sorts. A volitile one towards ships, but not to living beings.
Real Physics kinda go out the window when dealing with fantastic anomalies in Star Trek. Honestly I don't even know if Two Dimensional Life is possible, or time travel via slingshot around a star at faster than light speeds, or any of the various things that happen.
For all we know the Nexus realm is one influenced by pure thought and willpower alone. If someone wishes to leave, and to a certain place and time, then it is entirely possible. As Guinan said in there, Time has no meaning.
see the thing is that it was said in the movie that you can never leave the nexus, and the fact that the nexus has the force to rip ships apart, and yet you say he just willed him self a brand new flesh and blood body, for him and his crew, I really don't care what kind of physics you use that is still a stretch, and how do you explain all the refits, i say that he feels that he left the nexus but never did, to him it real but it also not, the nexus is a trap of a kind, and the most evil of traps, it gives you what you want and you have no way to see that its not real, so to Picard it is real to Picard he did will him self out, but he never got out
again it falls back on the nexus energy, I mean just because it looks like your out of a dream doesn't mean your really awake,
but I see that alot of yous want him to be alive no matter what
If they did though, it could be interesting if they had two 'seasons' of DSC per year, one far future one continuing from where they are now, and one created by solving the problem Q sets Picard on the trail of set back in their original timeframe but more TOS compatible and interacting with SNW and Section 31.
If they treated Starfleet more like the UN security forces or NATO (that eventually tightens up until in late 2266 they start referring to it as "UFP Starfleet" instead of by the names of the individual members forces, such as UESPA) they could get the in-service rivalry and friction they were trying for in first season DSC in a way that was actually plausible, and even better it builds on the hints given in TOS so it would tend to attract the traditional fans instead of alienate them.
the thing is TOS was actually kinda a continality mess, I mean it took them some time to decide that they where the "Starfleet" serving the "united federated of planets" IIRC an episode or two had kirk refer to himself as serving the "UN space probe agency" or something
That really isn't a continuity issue because they made sure to do it as an evolution, not sudden back and forth shifts. If they has started out introducing the ship as belonging to "United Federation of Planets Starfleet", then shifted to UESPA, then back to UFP Starfleet then that would be a continuity issue. But they didn't do that.
What they did was use was use an organization name that implied that the Federation was more like the realworld European Union than a tighter, more centralized government (like the present-day US is) back in its early days. Starfleet was probably more like realworld NATO back then, and Starfleet probably had some vestige of that multinational type of organization long after it became moot.
A Vulcan ship would probably have used the name of whatever replaced High Command, an Andorian ship would probably have been introduced as being a part of the Andorian Imperial Guard, etc. until Starfleet did a reorganization and cleared out all the old alliance name cruft from the early days (which was finished by season one episode nine obviously since they used UFP Starfleet consistently ever since).
There was even some uniform color shuffling leading up to it (Uhura and Sulu most notably) which hints that they may have been doing an overhaul of the three departments too, which would be entirely consistent with the larger organizational streamlining/consolidation.
no it wasn't world building, it was pure utter "the writers hadn't nailed that down" they admitted as such, you're over thinking
I hate to burst your bubble, but worldbuilding does not stop in series preproduction, it continues on from the framework initially set down throughout a well-written series (the ones which don't do that quickly begin to feel stale and static). And building on that initial framework, even tweaking parts of that framework to smooth some of the new parts, is not a "continuity mess" as long as it is done in a way that makes it feel like a clarification or eliminating an in-story coverup instead of arbitrary change. And the way they did it in TOS qualifies as that ongoing evolution.
It is analysis, not overthinking.
The ironic part about DSC is that if the producers of that show did not dismiss in contempt anything that came from TOS they could have used that vestige of multinational internal organization to base the internal friction they so obviously wanted in the Federation and Starfleet on in DSC. It would also have been a good reason to have several types of uniform and insignia so they would not have had to use the TOS uniforms they apparently hated when DSC was in run-up.
All they had to do was to make an effort to look into TOS for what it was and what it was intended to be and then updated and added to it instead of just glancing at the 1960's production values and turning their noses up in contempt and going for The Undiscovered Country as their touchstone for the new series.
well before he went in to the nexus she said that no one could truly leave the nexus, but once he was in he was told he could leave, so what one is it, because if you listen to her both times she contradicted her self,
Guinen didn't leave by choice. She was ripped out of there by the Enterprise-B, so a piece of her stayed behind. Picard left by choice.
