Derrick's word on Ben 10,000 was never contradicted by another writer and neither was Primus' existance as Matt never said Derrick was wrong about it. The only actual contradiction the two have had was the origin of Undertown, which isn't what we are talking about.

Derrick isn't some random art dude with no involvement on the plot, he's the reason Kevin was changed back into a mutant in the Rooters ark as he's stated that was all his idea. Derrick's word on OV/OS Ben 10,000 was not, and has never been contradicted by anything, be it another writer or the show because shifting time is a thing.

The fact of the matter is that we have a canon explanation to the question that was never contradicted by anything else. The supporters of the split have shown they don't know what a retcon is, have unknowningly argued the OS, UAF, OV episodes 1-4, and OV episodes 5-80 are all different timelines (a point I have brought up at least twice that they have never responded to), and have literally said they don't care about what is canon because they personally don't like it.

This isn't two unprovable opinions, this is one side rejecting canon info we've had for years simply because they don't want it to be true anymore. That's the problem.
