Look at the Reverse-Flash for example, when he went back in time to try to kill Barry as a kid, that wasn't some different Eobard Thawne from a parallel timeline, it was him from the same timeline's future. When he ended up killing Nora instead of Barry and stranded himself in the past, that subsequently changed the events of the timeline, but it was still the same timeline. While the Earth-2 events are completely separate from everything that has happened or might happen on Earth-1. If someone decides to change the timeline on E-2, these changes won't affect E-1 or any other. So they are not really different timelines of the same universe, they are separate universes with their own timelines.
