DS9 is problematic, we need to talk

Because we're free to talk 
I mean, this sort of thing goes on in all TV shows, not just Star Trek. I remember one show, where a speaking character asks an extra the time, the extra just holds out their arm so the speaking character can look at the watch himself.
Yeah. This is not new nor particularly egregious in Trek. Money and time are tight in productions with little flexibility.
I think that the rules might even apply to cameos. That's why Lee Child didn't do anything other than gesture in "Jack Reacher"
Morn was a running joke. Though I do think he deserved a few lines just to compensate him for his time in the makeup chair.

Guild rules are very strict.
There's a funny bit in TNG, when Data and Crosis are talking and Data says he'd kill Geordi just to feel again the brig jailer is just sitting there within earshot not reacting at all.
I guess the writer forgot that there was one around.
and the director didn’t realise the silliness if it all.
Can't imagine why...
I don't think I'll ever be able to watch DS9 again after the OP pointed out this major flaw. 
And when they would set down food/drink in ten forward. Sometimes they would not even look at the main crew guest characters / stars. Or the main crew does not even say thank you. That would seem especially important in this future.
Why in "this future "?
In the future, new Star Trek episodes will be either 45 minutes of table manners or "naked time!"
Ah my old thread. It's good to see you again.
To quote Saavik: "Humor, it's a difficult concept."
I play for the 1%
Low budget indy cable tv show. Gotta cut a few corners here and there.
