Most of what you list are things that are either daydreams, took place on the holodeck, or in a holodeck-type environment. Tom Paris didn't really drive a pickup truck around the corridors of Voyager (they found the truck out in space), and the only time when he drove a 20th century vehicle on a planet was when he was literally in the 20th century.
Tom's '20th century interest' was a running character trait through the whole show, and the fact
Trek characters just happen to end up in the latter half of the 20th century quite so often only strengthens the point - connections with contemporary America are commonplace in all Trek incarnations.
DS9 had a baseball that stood in for its lead character on more than one occasion, for crying out loud. Relics of the 20th/21st centuries have appeared in Trek all along. Kirk wore antique specs, and collected antique firearms. But a motorbike being around, and a young, hot headed lover of adventure enjoying riding one?
Absurd.
It's amusing how many different uniform variations they have being used concurrently in this timeline.
Yes, noticed that. In fairness, it is actually quite realistic when compared with modern uniformed services both civilian and military that not only uniform changes quite regularly, but that there are often a dozen or more variations current at any one time, either officially sanctioned, or because people hang on to old kit. I attended a conference last month which included people from at least half of the police forces in our country - no two forces were wearing exactly the same uniform. Some got pretty close, but had different trousers, or metal shoulder numbers instead of embroidered ones, and there's a raging debate on whether we should wear black or white shirts, or have both for different occasions. Uniform may be many things, but it is rarely uniform.
This is sad. For those of us in the science and technology fields, what you are calling "technobabble" was the reason we watched. The real science, seeing in science fiction what is only theoretically (but realistically) possible, and lingo that "nerds and geeks" use on a daily basis.
So much of the technobabble in the Trek spinoffs was meaningless made-up deus-ex-machina gibberish that had nothing to do with real-world science or technology, so I don't see how anybody would be using it on a daily basis in real life.
Kor
Sure, some of it was. But lots of it was not.
There is no way to explain the Q away as being other than escapees from Bewitched. And the sentient Doctor hologram of Voyager was ridiculous. Still, none of that ruined the fendamental foundations of Star Trek like magic Kahn reanimation blood, or Red Matter, or transwarp beaming. In this movie, the transporter is working so why don't they just beam everyone to earth from wherever they are? Nobody has to worry about being killed, as I'm sure there is a stash of magic tribble blood on hand to bring them back to life. Deus Ex Machina indeed!
Yes, there were certainly no TOS plots which should have had long term and permanent ramifications for the Trekverse but didn't.
In the fricking
pilot we learn that crossing the great barrier gives you god like superpowers. Sure, no-one would ever want to go back and do that again. Who wants superpowers for heaven's sake?
We had humanoid sentient androids more than once on TOS who were indistinguishable from humans, and the ability to transfer consciousness into one. For all intents and purposes, immortality.
The slingshot manoeuvre for time travel is so simple the crew use it to do historical surveys and even later pull it off in a battered Klingon bird of prey based on the calculations of one Vulcan. History should never be safe from meddling if it were that easy. Anyone with a warp capable ship could change whatever they wanted. This should be
hugely impactive but, hey, it isn't.
You can remove and replace people's brains with no lasting ill effects.
The crew steal a cloaking device from an enemy vessel and it's never seen again even though the 'Treaty of Algeron' explanation was nearly half a century away.
The Genesis device is, as is pointed out in the film, a game changing weapon. Which is never heard from again.
Then if we consider 24th Century real Trek (I've lost track of what's allowed, if I'm honest), and the first two seasons of TNG to be the closest to Roddenberry's 'correct vision', well, I point you to
Unnatural Selection - store some DNA when you feel OK and you can be cured of any disease and have the ageing process reversed by transporter. A technology never heard from again.
The transporter can even create duplicates of you if you fancy a twin.
And ultimately, the biggest earthquake the fundamental foundations of the Trek universe, the Replicator, is introduced without real comment, and only seems to be used to make coffee. If anything would change the universe, the ability to build whatever you liked in seconds by 'beaming' it into existence trumps magic Khan blood every time. Combining the transporter and replicator means you could generate a clone army and an enormous fleet for them to explore on in what, an afternoon?
EXACTLY. The level of hate generated by the short 1:54 minute trailer is the absolute WORST that I have ever seen in Trek fandom.
For someone painting themselves as the guru of all things
Trek, it seems you have forgotten the 'Akiraprise' debates, or any of the rest of the hate flying over the early releases about ENT. Or, for that matter, the 'cadet to captain' explosion of 2009. The great Beastie Boys controversy of 2015 pales in comparison.
I think it is warranted. Who wants to see 2 Fast Trek 2 Furious Guardians of the Stars? That short trailer may have killed millions in revenue. I think that any more trailers will only make things worse.
And I think the opposite of every one of those sentences.
