MODERATORS
Because it's difficult to write things that mesh with things that already exist.
We already see, time after time, some storyline that requires some new and novel solution that we never ever hear from ever again.
If I might go to Star Wars for an analogy - there's different opinions out there, but for me, Rogue One was pretty good. Andor was jsut about the best series of any genre I've seen. Watching Rogue One after Andor was....... weird.
Trying to see them back-fill stuff into Strange New Worlds is weird. It's mostly fun, but it's better when they sort of ignore that part of the storyline. (Although they get a bit silly, which is also annoying to me, but whatever)
Also, it's hard to build more and more tech as things supposedly advance more and more and more - and then when they do go back in time they want those fun toys so the figure out how to get them in but somehow they magically disappear again until needed later.
I haven't really read or seen much fan written stuff, but I wonder if they have that problem? It's easier to write your own stuff and make it work close enough, vs. getting official approval, but I have a feeling there's a lot of stories already out there over decades that would work within the established canon with some fudging. I'm sure, just like Rogue One/Andor and "rebels steal the plans", there is some older canon stuff with a line or two that could be expanded into a decent movie. It doesn't have to be a whole trilogy, although maybe that's also part of it, the studios want something they can milk for years.
