Well, Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol 4 17 (2005) likewise describes the events of Manifest Destiny as being part of the main Earth-928 canon, and the retcon of Earth-96943 is clearly pretty recent. The reasoning behind it is also clear: you can't have a definitive "ending" to 2099 universe if you want to keep telling new stories in it, which is why Manifest Destiny has been given the "alternate universe" treatment of The End Comic Books. With a new 2099 storyline including Fantastic Four 2099 Vol 2 1 coming out next month, we could perhaps wait and see where it's all going on. Anything could happen in that story, after which we can revisit the questions of both FF 2099 retcon and what to do with Earth-TRN588 in general.
