Sega didn't explain because there's nothing to explain, other mediums aren't trying to fill the blanks, they're just trying to tell their own story.

Sonic's world and our world aren't the same, Columbus didn't found America in Sonic's world as America doesn't exist. Granted similar events may have occurred and if they did, what would be the issue in that?

"If they knew they contradicted some stuff, they never would've mentioned it." Mentioned what, exactly? Plus, I wouldn't say that they're aware of every contradiction they make, they most likely happen by accident, nobody's perfect.
