I think you are digging to much into it even ground zeroes has two different stroylines for example if you rescue chico first he goes all "paz is dead wa wa" but if you rescue paz first you get a different cutsecene before she is extracted where big boss puts her on the ground and then when you rescue chico he doesn't mention paz being dead, yet this has no impact on the plot paz still dies after the second bomb goes off.

I think it with Quiet is something similar perhaps she has no real impact to the plot and is only a support charachter and if you meet her she dies at some point in the game and the story continiues as normal, I also think that the original Metal Gear games on the MSX will be retconned, because if I remember correctly MG2 starts by saying that the world no longer uses nuclear weapons, yet in all subsequent games nukes are still used, so perhaps the orginal Metal Gear games will be retconnesd or maybe Quiet has no impact on the plot and is only a support character like Lydia from Skyrim.

or maybe Kojima meant something else because like you said Quiet is a heavily featured character, in the trailers and such, so we will have to wait and find out
