The Hirogen appearing in season 7? Agreed. But there is no way the ones they encounter in season 7 could have had holographic technology from Voyager, because the Hirogen Janeway gave it to was all the way back in season 4... BEFORE those huge jumps in "NIGHT", "TIMELESS", "DARK FRONTIER", and "THE VOY.AGER CONSPIRACY". So how did the Hirogen in "FLESH AND BLOOD" have holograms as prey?
Unless they had some kind of advanced warp drive or other advanced form of propulsion, which was never established in any episode with the Hirogen. So again, inconsistent.
They have subspace radio. Obviously they transmitted the specs for how to build the technology. It's not like the Hirogen are primitive. They were a warp-capable power in the 14th century. They're more advanced than we are. The only reason they hadn't invented holographic technology already is that they didn't want to, not that they weren't capable of creating it once they had the incentive. All they needed was the blueprints, so to speak, and they could've built their own.
And DS9 did do serialization, 'structure wise', at least three times...
Yes, obviously, but that does not make it correct to use the word "serialization" to refer to ALL forms of continuity. DS9 was an episodic show that occasionally experimented with serialization. That does not make it a serialized show.
There were also character episodes that tied extremely strongly together that they can almost be considered serialized... for example, Sisko and his accepting his role as Emissary in "DESTINY", "ACCESSION", and "RAPTURE".
Yes, of course an episodic show can have serialized elements. Again, that does not mean serialization is a synonym for continuity.
