How popular was Andor? As far as numbers go?
Also, by reports Andor was the most expensive production for Lucasfilm under Disney. So, it's not just a person with a vision but deep pockets too.

They predicted that Kurtzman would be fired from Disco for five seasons.
Be that as it may, fighting Disney would be a VERY expensive proposition.
Can confirm.

Netflix is spending $400 million on Stranger Things Season 5.
Eight episodes = approximately $50 million per episode
Trek looks parsimonious by comparison.
Stranger Things Season 5 Has a Mind-Boggling Budget for a TV Series
Stranger Things Season 5’s staggering budget has garnered significant attention. A new report suggests that the fifth and final season could cost over $400 million to produce, despite a shorter episode run. This marks a sharp increase from the previous season’s already high budget. Stranger...
Yeah, you're never going to see that kind of money spent on Star Trek.
A show about Shran's daughter grown up and maybe being the first Andorian in Starfleet might be fun. You could build a show around one character that spans their entire life. Season 1 focus is her at the Academy. Season 2. First posting aboard a Starship. Season 3 First command of small space station on the border of dangerous space. Season 4 Is her retiring from Starfleet and going into politics. Season 5 IS her dealing with a daughter and son. Son wants to go into Starfleet. Daughter wants to be a musician .Maybe do it as a cartoon because I know the idea of a show that stars a blue person might not be something that appeals to a wider mainstream audience.

Kurtzman was fired. Nobody sent him the memo.
Nobody gives a crap about Shran’s daughter.
She is barely a character. Thus a blank slate in essence as a adult. Part of the appeal of course is seeing Shran again though such a show would live or fail on how interesting they made her character to be.
But what's the story? If you're not telling a compelling story, I could give a fuck what action figures Lord Terry dug out of his toybox to play with again.
You state you still have fucks to give but tonally your post implies that your supply of fucks has been thusly depleted.
The story would basically be her life from Academy to Retired Grandparent. It would be the first time a Trek show focused on a single individual going through their entire lifespan just about. Which in turn would make each season a sort of a self contained season that has a beginning and end.
So why does it need to be Shran’s daughter? That’s just unnecessary fanwank.
Aside from not sounding especially compelling, the loud internet people who shared their disapproval of Discovery and Picard will probably spook them from a show centred too heavily on one character.
And this point unravels the concept further you could literally make it about anyone and have it make no difference. Choosing a child seen in a holodeck simulation who may not even be real just doesnt seem to have any hook.
It doesn't have to. The reason though is it would be the right amount of fan wank. We are talking about almost all new characters each season since we would be doing time and location jumps. Shran would be like one of the few anchors since she would be his dad. Which I think people would like. People like Combs and Shran. So him maybe being in 2 to 3 episodes a season in 10 episode season would be fun for old school fans. I would avoid most her characters which actually would be kind of easy since she would be a old women at best by the time you reached TOS time. Maybe President Archer guest spot at some point would be fun but that is about the only characters I can think of that would make sense.
So again, the character could literally be anyone since you're focusing on all the fanwank around them rather than the character themselves who should be the reason the show exists.
