My understanding of that was that originally, Skynet actually DID have a central core computer, but after the events of Terminator 2, history changed due to the inevitability of Judgement Day.
The way I comprehend it, once you have killer cyborgs coming back in time from the future, then you are pretty much LOCKED into that particular timeline. Despite all the potential possible futures out there, once cyborgs started coming back into our timeline, then our timeline became locked into a future course where the events that allowed those cyborgs to come back in the first place were destined to happen. Otherwise, you have a gigantic paradox on your hands.
I liked that the movie was trying to say that once you know your future, there is no escape from it. After Cyberdine systems was destroyed in T2, the timeline had to "adapt" to make way for the necessary future and protect its own stability.
That's how I see it, anyway. Time travel shit is always going to be confusing since it's all still theoretical conjecture anyway.
