If it went too much past 10 years we start running into Pike's end days.
Turns out that was an alternate reality and in this one Pike avoids his fate and remains in command of the Enterprise.
Except that would cheapen a bunch of character moments, violate established cannon, and would just be lazy writing.
Stories are at their best when they are dynamic. If nothing ever changes, you have a trashy sitcom or soap opera.
Sure, follow a prequel timeline long enough, and you star hitting cannon events. But it's simple to move forward. You tell new stories set in-between the established cannon. But still constrain yourself to not violating that cannon.
