Why? Tv and film have used stock footage for such scenes for decades.
Indeed, shows like the quite old "Time Tunnel" were made of sixty percent of stock footage. It was a show about time travel, so for each of their historical events, they would use clips from sometimes famous Hollywoodian movies.
I just realised the EDF seen on 32nd century Earth is from Duke Nukem. WTF?
Now I wanna see Duke save the day next week XDI just realised the EDF seen on 32nd century Earth is from Duke Nukem. WTF?

Seriously I don't see that where is that?
Yes I forgot. He would most definitely do that and poop down their necks once dead. He did that in one game
Filming in California is expensive. Picard got more than $16 million in tax credits for Season 1 and were allocated more than $20 million for Season 2, which probably helped with the budget.
It looks like these tax credits rebate about 20% of costs for productions like Picard, so, they probably had at least an $80 million budget for season 1 ($8 million an episode), and the total budget for Season 2 will probably be over $100 million. (Ontario, Canada has a similar tax credit program for about 35% of labour costs, covering shows like Discovery, though the expenses that qualify seem to be narrower than California's program)
Yeah, they didn't figure bunch of Trekkies on some forum would catch on:

Wanted to save a few bucks. I wonder if they got their monies worth
I think this is likely just another example of poor coordination between the writer's room and the VFX department, TBH.
But even if we set aside the (clearly contradictory) shockwave effect, was there any logic for why there would be an infinitesimal difference based on location?
There is no logic for any wave traveling through space faster than light. And we have no idea what the maximum speed things can propagate through subspace.
I'm guessing it was such a small difference because the writers believed if it was any longer of a duration it would have been triangulated long ago. It is embarrassing they didn't remember the word picosecond exists though.
Star Trek writers really have an issues with explosions and distance and light speed and etc...
Of the top of my head... Veridian Star in GEN. Missile was launched from Veridian III, we see it hit the Star and seconds later it begins to dim. If Veridian is like our solar system, or close to it, it would take MINUTES for the explosion in the Star to be visible from a planet (without googling, IIRC Earth is 8-light minutes away from our Sun). Even if the missile went to warp as soon as it was launched, it would take many minutes to see any affect on the planet after it hit the start. Most likely you would see dimming and feel the shockwave at about the same time.
And that's just off the top of my head... There are likely very many other examples.
Well, if that didn't happen we wouldn't have any drama...

Given this season has provided two different examples of planets which are literally partially ruptured debris piles which haven't re-accreted due to gravity (something totally impossible for anything larger than an asteroid) it's probably only a matter of time until we see something as dumb as the starkiller in The Force Awakens, which could be seen simultaneously from a bunch of distant planets (which arguably were even in separate solar systems).
Hah, next you're going to mention artistic license and suspension of disbelief aren't you?Well, if that didn't happen we wouldn't have any drama...
