Please get it through your skull once and for all that a potential future is not the same thing as "the" future. For all we know, Carmen and Bob could have a radically different relationship with the main characters than what it implies. The fact that Tokka and Rahzar were removed from the main timeline is itself an alteration from the events we can assume lead to it. And even if this was the intended to be "the" future, nobody is obligated to follow through on it, it can still be completely ignored. In fact, we have already seen like three or four other interpretations of what the future might be like from other writers. There was an entire mini-series dedicated to explaining that the future is not and can not be written in stone.

Spoiler:

In fact, the only reason Bebop and Rocksteady still exist in the main timeline is because they replaced their dead main timeline counterparts, that's how complicated the rules are here. By all rights, the Battle of the Bands thing shouldn't have happened because Bebop and Rocksteady shouldn't even be around to make it happen. So who even knows if that was actually a potential future of the main timeline? For all we know, could have been the future of a timeline where Null headquarters got destroyed by the Dragon or where Bebop and Rocksteady didn't defeat Ravenwood or just about any other million possibilities.

The only reason you keep insisting this Mutant City / Fallout New Vegas Bullshit is going to be "the" future, is because you have a personal soft spot for it. But the truth is that literally any decent writer is not going to work towards, they're just going to ignore it apart from maybe a need to declare why it won't happen, because it would suck incredibly hard if the future was set in stone.
