Very much this. Like, authors are dealing with a bunch of potential plot threads, revised plot threads, story ideas never fleshed out, something that came up in a draft but was cut, published things they later decide to retcon because it makes more sense to change it at the end of a series vs something they didn't know when publishing the first installment, etc. And she's been writing a whole bunch of books that build on each other for decades!

While readers are only dealing with the finished, published versions. It's a lot easier for us to keep some things straight.

Yeah, authors have access to all their drafts, and unpublished works that never got to market. Some authors are more strict about following their established canon, some diverge where they please. I tend to think of canon divergence in series as what ifs and slightly different timelines, it doesn't really bother me since I follow a few continuities with many authors who all have different takes, though of course I have my preferences and get irritated when an author changes something I liked or the quality of an author's writing drops. I just don't see it as inherently bad or a sign of anything terrible for a canon continuity to shift when it comes to a long running established world.
