Shouldnt the old spock not have remembered what happened in the old timeline

I have a question regarding the new movie which suggests the destruction of vulcan hasnt changed much at all, for example when spock was telling his story of red matter and how it destroyed romulus, this happened in the universe where vulcan wasnt destroyed but since it was destroyed the old spock from the futures memories…

Who's to say that the original timeline still exists? It's just been been assumed that it does because nobody wants to face up to fact that JJ has basically given the two fingers to all of us who have followed it over several centuries.

But seriously, the Ent-E survived the (catastrophic) changes in the timeline because it was caught in the temporal rift created by the Borg sphere. (AFAIR, this was explained, at least somewhat, in FC.) I know that lots of episodes have dealt with time travel and they all assume that changes made in the past affect the future. But, why are we assuming that ST XI is different? Why can't what happened when Spock Prime came back have wiped out everything we've been watching for 40 years?

It's not called a reboot for nothing!!!

Well yes it did wipe it all out as such, but from Spock Primes perspective it still exists because everything we've seen in TOS right through has all happened to him and therefore happened.
