He is shown here with his companions whom we haven't seen since the 2.0 cinematic, he has no scions at his disposal, and we don't have absolute proof that events didn't transpire in his world differently enough that he's not responsible for some of the things that have gone wrong in his timeline. The world has seemingly turned against us before. Maybe he just didn't bounce back like we did.

Did SE actually say they couldn't fix the cinematic and accidentally put Hraesvelgr there instead of Nidhogg?
It was during the lead up to Heavensward they interviewed the animator of the cutscene during a stream and he was delivered the wrong concept art when he was starting work on the cutscene. By the time it was discovered he had the wrong concept art, he was too far along in the animation to change it in time for release.
