I think it rather elegantly covers all possible POV's.

You can consider it a total reboot or you can accept that while it creates a new universe free of any limitations, it couldn't have happened without the original.

And that original still exists.

I think it covers all bases and potential viewpoints allowing everyone to decide for themselves.

Like several others, I agree with this approximately 100%

The 'new' Trek exists both within, and outside original continuity; this new timeline was born out of the original, but the writers now basically have carte blanche to create new tales based around the original characters.

YES and because the classic show was perfect. No need to change anything.
