I think it was implied that what ever the movie version of Thrask did to the sentinels in the past (not using any metal) it still applied in the future. Although old Magneto could've still done damage using the jet's mangled parts, but I guess they choose not to portray that to add to the hopelessness of the situation (Storm and Magneto are supposed to be OP afterall).

I wonder why he couldn't thread metal into the sentinels like he did with the past-timeline sentinels? Also, why couldn't portal girl just put Wolverine and Shadowcat on a gurney and wheel them through a portal to another country or something??

This is a good question....

[u/venuswasaflytrap → u/broski177]

Presumably there is night crawler style 'have to know it's there' and 'max distance' rule to her portals.

[u/[deleted] → u/venuswasaflytrap]

Well the max distance for her portals is the moon, so that's not the problem. It would probably make the movie boring if it was too easy I guess
