What's the point of calling 1883 a prequel if you don't have to watch it first

Prequels are set chronologically before original works, but are intended as a thematic response to the ideas in the original media, and are written assuming that the people who watch the prequels are already aware of the events in the original work

The point of calling it a prequel is that they hope a good part of the audience of Yellowstone will also watch 1883. They say that some of the characters of the new show are ancestors of the characters in Yellowstone and that way they can call it a prequel.

It isn’t a “prequel” it is an origin story. Theres a difference, one expands on the other.
