John "Soap" MacTavish is dead in Call of Duty franchise despite appearing in Warzone and MW3 Season 4

The Season 4 cutscene shows Sergeant "Soap" MacTavish on a mission to track down DNA bombs at different locations. At the beginning of the cutscene, the developers mention the timeline during which the mission takes place. The precise date revealed for this [REDACTED] quest is May 22, 2022.
It implies that the said mission takes place prior to the events of Modern Warfare 3's campaign and even before the campaign in Modern Warfare 2.
In simple words, Soap's return is not due to him surviving a gunshot in his head from Makarov's pistol in MW3. He has been featured in Season 4 to showcase a past event from a [REDACTED] mission in which he was involved while leading a team.
Hence, his inclusion will not affect the events in the MW3 campaign or its previous three seasons that took place after MW3's endings in any way. However, the developers haven't disclosed the main reason for involving a secret quest with Soap from the past. It will be interesting to learn more about the development when they finally offer an update.
Hopefully, the next season will provide some answers. As of now, Soap remains dead in the Call of Duty series.
