TOS didn't have the budget, I bet if Gene had a lot more money we would have seen a lot more aliens and ship designs.
Poll Do you consider Discovery to truly be in the Prime Timeline at this point?

Xyrillians.
Don't worry my friend! We know that the Romulans were the first race to develop cloaking technology! That's why the Federation later on sent Kirk and Spock to retrieve (steal) the technology because intelligence reports had identified Klingon ships were now being used by the Romulan command suggesting an alliance between the two empires which could be a threat to Federation planets in the area and beyond! A couple of executives who know very little about Star Trek think they've done a good job with their new franchise but we long term fans know they've crossed the line on at least three occasions already continuity wise which only makes sense if this is an alternate reality!! Forget about the look, the technology and everything else!

Maybe he would have, we don't know, even if he had the money to do it that look may not have been to his tastes!
But anyways he didn't!

So you're saying we shouldn't expand on what was established in TOS?Maybe he would have, we don't know, even if he had the money to do it that look may not have been to his tastes!

What's the difference between DSC doing that and DS9/VOY expanding on what TNG established?
First things first! Xyrillians are from ENT which itself is an alternate reality created by temporal interference from the future!
TNG, DS9 and VOY can expand on what was established in TOS because it's set a century later than the original show so anything they come up with, whether we like it or not is canon but ENT and DSC are set before TOS and they contradict TOS on so many levels it's absurd! You have to ask yourself which of the three Treks you prefer...TOS, ENT or DSC?

The difference is in people's biases. "How dare DSC touch anything in TOS!" Whereas DS9 and VOY were an outgrowth of TNG produced by the same team.
The TOS Era is something the DSC creators are reviving and re-appropriating for 21st Century TV, which is going to ruffle some people's feathers, as we've seen. DS9 and VOY, on the other hand, are basically two '90s shows continuing on from another '90s show, so it doesn't register to them.
I like all three, and consider all three to be the same universe.
Really isn't that hard.
Oh, it is for some of us!

No it isn't. The Season Finale proved this.
Well all it showed us was it could be a holodeck adventure series enjoyed by the crew or it is an alternate timeline affected by temporal incursions from the future (which is what the first three seasons were about) and that it has caught up with the TNG era in the finale!

Probably another issue of 'too many cooks'
Some parts of Memory-Alpha still refuse to refer to the Vulcan system as 40 Eridani even though it has been established recently as such on some computer screens.
Riker said it was a historical program, not fantasy.
TNG is the future and may not have had the full facts of an incident eighty odd years earlier, Jinn!
JB
An historical event that wasn't part of the original timeline! But after the temporal cold war the future was altered to some degree and Riker may not have been aware how that may have affected him or his crew being part of the revised future if you get my drift?
