So my headcanon for Star Trek TOS is that it’s actually a stage play done by the arts department of Starfleet Academy. Pre-holodeck so probably done right after 1701-A retired. It’s why Strange New World’s/Kelvin/Enterprise looks more.advanced as they had to scrap some shit together to build sets and props. They probably did some artistic license as well, going for a retro-futuristic look. Not to mention the very over the top acting.
Now I know what you’re gonna say. “What about Trials and Tribulations?” Well it’s all a flashback scene anyways, Sisko is telling the whole story and the Temporal cops are imagining it based on the stage play they probably saw a holo recording of.
The one part of the “SNW look” that I don’t like is the need to show off enormous volumes of empty space. Some of the places such as Engineering are more like a gutted McMansion than “a working space that is conflicted between the need to efficiently pack in monstrous machinery, and provide access for the people that maintain it”.

“What about TNG Relics?” Shut up lol
Simple answer: Q did a shenanigans. Or maybe Space Red Foreman’s time-cannon rewrote canon?
