Part of that is because the canon is defined both by the mechanics and the vast pile of lore, so being self-consistent isn't necessarily something that was high on their priority list. In particular, the lore was always more important than the numbers, so you fairly commonly saw them diverging even back in the day when there wasn't nearly as much published lore as there is today. How do I know this, you may ask? Go look at the cover of Iteration X Revised from Mage the Ascention. Yes, that's my name, at least one of the two. When it comes down to it, the overall feel of the game was more important during its construction than being consistent with the mechanics everywhere. In fact, an NPC who is said to be different generations in different books? That's perfectly reasonable. The mechanics, as in the stat block, only gives you a single possible view, even if you assume that the mechanics express specifically and exactly the truth about the character. They themselves lie to other people, and other people can't see the stat block. In the game, inconsistency is part and parcel of the unreliable narrator and viewpoint characters. Now the vast number of books that have come out since the mid-90s just kept getting piled higher and deeper. Then we had that whole VTR thing, and then 5th edition, neither of which was particularly great in terms of design, but V20 wasn't terrible. The authors and creators never had full control and full understanding, though. Having complete control of the world was not something they ever were inclined to establish. Though you could be forgiven for thinking so because of the weird obsession with metaplot. But I think that's probably a whole different discussion.
