Because, as irrational as it is, I want to see Pike. I don't want to think about Jim Kirk, or his future mission. I want Pike to stand on his own two feet and go through this journey. It's not Kirk's journey right now to show.
Has it been inoffensive in it's woven in to the overall story. Sure. That doesn't make it any more palatable to me because my interest is Pike. That's it.
If I could like this a thousand times, it would still not be enough!
They’ve used him to highlight and develop the main cast Pike, La’an and Uhura have all benefited from having Kirk as a “sounding board”. Next season it might be Spock’s turn. (Fingers crossed for Axanar.

You're seeing some competition or slight where there is none.
As a character, Kirk remains opaque - like his brother. No story so far "looks over his shoulder," so to speak, or assumes his character's point of view or voice. This is an important difference between a series core character and a recurring or supporting character who's placed in the story to illuminate and motivate more important characters by their interactions.
Competition or slight? No. Annoyance? Yes.
Totally irrational and I'll own that. But I won't hide my irritation either.
Indeed, Spock, indeed.
Spock looks so damn smug there!
TOS Pilot Spock was the smuggest Spock. And I really enjoy him in those episodes.
When the guy at the bar wants you to join him for drinks but you fail to remember you need to be studying for your Kolinahr.
Those were the kind of smiles I use to get whenever I said YES at the bars.At least he didn't use the creepy smile
