And of course, this video can presumably be added to the canon list, set right after Far from Home. And they incorporated the Area 51 raid from this month, lol.

At least Harrington's age makes enough sense canon-wise that it creates no issues with his TIH appearance. So he was like 24-ish in that computer lab scene. So in the MCU the raid happened in 2024 instead of 2019. Curious. It's curious that it even happened in the MCU at all. The reason it happened in our world (outside of it being a joke that got way out of hand) was because people desperately wanted concrete proof of the existence of aliens, or of alien tech.

The MCU at large has known about aliens since 2012, and every single alien species we've met so far would EASILY escape something like Area 51. And presumably, the Avengers' close ties with the Guardians and Captain Marvel would result in some of their technology being brought over to Earth. So there's seemingly no reason why the raid should've happened at all in the MCU.
