That’s not exactly what happened. The Lower Decks episode just told us that there is another universe where the Klingons look like that. That doesn’t mean they never looked like that in our universe. One of the other things the Klingons turn into is an Ancient Klingon Sailing Barge. I took it to mean technology and culture had progressed differently in those universes.
Indeed. The same episode showed the Cerritos transforming into a Galaxy class ship, but no one takes that to mean that the Galaxy class only ever existed in an alternate universe.
