If character history is established in a "non-continuity" or WHAT IF? it still has to be considered canon because according to the Watcher WHAT IFS diverge from recognizable 616 continuity at specific points (which is why they always said "What If Dr. Doom and Mr. Fantastic Were Brothers?" could never be done because there was never a divergence point where that could have occurred). If you want non-616 revelations to be considered non-continuity you should label them explicitly "imaginary."

Perhaps it should work this way, but in practice it does not (nor, really, has it ever, which is how you could justify stories like “What If Sgt Fury Fought World War II In Outer Space!”) And what we’re talking about in this instance isn’t even a WHAT IF, it was a THE END story, which didn’t need to follow any of those rules in the first place.
