Not every character is impacted by every shift it in things, but there's always a matter of taking the time to figure out what's still valid and what's not. Then on top of that you have stuff like the New Gods that everything ever is supposed to count for because there's only supposed to be one set in the omniverse(which means dumb things like the Omega Beams being dodged by Batman through pure agility on JLU is cannon) and the GL Corp which are supposed to be unaffected by such things even though it goes directly against logical linear thinking from an in-universe perspective and somehow despite all the shifts to the status quo somehow Golden Prime is still supposed to be what mainstream Supes is supposed to become... Don't get me wrong because my general dislike of such things probably makes it all seem like a bigger deal to me than it actually has been, but yeah the whole thing just annoys the shit out of me. I shouldn't need a damn degree in DC cosmology just to understand the relevance of their continuity.
I honestly feel like we don't agree on what continuity actually is, tbh. I do think you're overstating these changes/reboots and attributing complexity to them that doesn't really exist, but I'm willing to admit I might be wrong.
