I think Discovery very much made trekkies feel uncomfortable and unsafe. I'm all for that.To feed off the corpse of TOS?
Right now, Star Trek is very much comfort food viewing. That is the primary goal, to increase that feeling of safety in the audience. That is why there is the draw to the TOS era, to use TNG, and the highlight what would be considered massive iconographic touchstones that even casual audience members will recognize, i.e. the Enterprise-D, the Starship Enterprise, Mr. Spock, etc.
The idea that Trek is anything but safe is one that doesn't track with current efforts. When it does things that are unsafe they are declared "out of bounds" and "not Trek." To use a Trek phrase "They are not of the body."
Why? Because it doesn't feel right.
But the bar is very low. Having a hologram in DSC or SNW made some older Trekkies cry into the night. They still cry but we barely listen to their mewling these days.
Such is the enjoyment of this awesome period of Trek.
This is where I had trouble connecting with either Discovery or Strange New Worlds. They "feel" off compared to the original.
Ah, I see your problem.
It's only supposed to be familiar, it's not supposed to BE those things. Glad we cleared that up early on!
