The 2017 we see when Another Build is created (and throughout all of episode 2) had none of that. It was just the standard world. So, we see two different versions of 2017 in these Zi-O episodes even though none of the characters comment on it directly since it's not really related to Zi-O's plot.

The 2017 we see here is seemingly the main timeline so how did Sento and Ryuga even get there? If Build didn't happen then they would've never gotten to the main timeline, mind you I'm assuming this is the main timeline cause we didn't see the Skywall

Build's epilogue scene in the "New World" was heavily implied to take place in 2017.

-2017 is the only date shown (through the Cross-Z RideWatch)
-New government cabinet announced on tv, and Japanese general elections were in 2017.
-They show a remake of the Sawa/Gentoku meeting from the beginning of Build.

So, they basically showed the Build World 2017 in episode 1 in order to make Build references with the skywall, Smash and their hideout, and then just had Sento and Banjo in the main world's 2017 for episode 2 since it works better for Zi-O's setup.

I'd guess they didn't attempt to explain how that works for several reasons, like Zi-O still establishing its basic premise and cast during these episodes too, so commenting on an unrelated alternate world set up (and that world being fused away) would just overcomplicate things.
