He does, and has since Enterprise, sadly.
In which case it is the true spiritual successor of Star Trek and demonstrates how CBS completely doesn't understand that makes Star Trek great.
He didn't say exactly why, just that he felt betrayed by it
He's on Orville now.

Yes joined for season 3.........and also The Last Sharknado: It's About Time
Trek Central has an interview with the actress who played Raffi's daughter-in-law. She has some very nice things to say about Hurd and particularly Frakes, who seems to be a very thoughtful, caring director for actors:
Huge "surprise".
Ah I see.He didn't say exactly why, just that he felt betrayed by it

I was superman
Remember what you said about taking your pills on Tuesdays.
Could you explain why instead of just dropping and leaving?
Add something to the conversation instead of just dumping on it.
Great. You want to add something to that or is this random thought theater?
One of the structural issues with the season, IMHO, is it seems like the writers really wanted Picard to be a more episodic/semi-serialized show, but they were forced into full serialization (whether by CBS or Kurtzman or whoever).
I mean, I think structurally the show would have made much more sense if they broke down the main arcs seperately:
1. Picard's regret involving the choices he made regarding the Romulan evacuation.
2. Picard's quest to find Soji and bring closure regarding his feelings with Data.
3. Whatever they were attempting to do with the Borg.
If you tease all of them apart into largely self-contained arcs, I think each of the themes the writers were trying to get across would hold together much better.

I think the Borg were the weakest part.
Doug has a very idealistic view of Star Trek and what it represents that reaches all the way back into childhood and the beginnings of the show. He sees the revised versions as abandoning or transgressing in important ways against core parts of what he's always loved.
My impression is that he also has strong feelings about the treatment of some long-time creative people by the Abrams team, including some who actually were invited and did work on the movies and reported less than salutary experiences.
Even allowing for that, whatever Doug says comes from the heart and a place of personal integrity. There is no reason to be even passingly dismissive of his opinions.*
*I speak as the reigning King of treating other people's opinions dismissively.

Doug Drexler is a voice of reason and authority in this franchise even now that he's on the outside looking in as a former employee and relic of a bygone era. I always find his opinions entertaining and insightful even if I don't always find myself in agreement with his take on something. Whatever one thinks of the guys at Trekyards I won't miss a chance to see them interview Doug Drexler.
I wish he were helping design starships for DSC and PIC.

When in doubt always blame these two..........
I feel like Chabon made the show he wanted to make.
As he should have. This was his baby, not necessarily Kurtzman's.
I mean, technically DS9 was Berman's show as well but Ira Steven Behr and Ron Moore were the ones running the heart and the soul of the series and made it what it became.
