I don't consider them different. I saw TMP for the first time after having grown up on TOS ans TNG and thought "oh they switched to TNG makeup for the Kirk movies?"
The irritation for TNG looking different than TOS also silly and misplaced. It's 100 years later. That provides plenty of time in-universe for things to drift and evolve from one depiction to another. It's the same reason why I have zero qualms in terms of continuity with S3 and s4 of Discovery.
So why can't you do that here?
TMP isn't.
I should clarify that people at the time of tng airing complained about the look of the series in general with the touch screens and carpets and stuff.
Rod at the time of TMP did imply the Klingon ridges were a retcon but it was never confirmed, and it's unclear how we're supposed to interpret the augment virus now with SNW reverting to the TMP/TNG look.
Personally I'd love for Kor, Kang, or Koloth to make an appearance without ridges in SNW.
