Agreeing with you, just want a place to dump my thoughts :)
Others have mentioned it and filled out the reasoning more, but basically Bethesda has a very “marketable” idea of what Fallout is, and everything they do or allow to be done with the IP they paid for, is in the service of furthering that.
All lore is fanfiction, new IP holders want to make money so they’re going to cut and emphasize where they want, regardless of the previously existing lore. In Bethesda’s case you can look at what Fallout 3, 4, 76, and the show have in common, and what it doesn’t have in common with NV, 1, and even 2 though to a lesser extent.
