[ST] If Scotty invented Warp Speed Transportation later in his life, and this is communicated back to a younger him, why in the primary universe, where it was only old Scotty aware, do we not see Warp Beaming in VOY and DS9? Or the TNG Movies?

Probably because it happened after the TNG movies.  He was found in suspended animation in TNG.  Bones was 137 when the Enterprise D launched.  Odds are Scotty would still be alive as well during the Hobus crisis.
