It's also how normal workplace relationships work in the real world. One doesn't tend to outline one's biography and family history on day one.

Or Sybok, or his parents, and on and on. Even in TNG's "Sarek" Picard mentions meeting Sarek at "his son's wedding."
Vulcans are very private.
Good point. And it's not just about day one. I can think of lots of colleagues who I've worked closely with for years. Do I know anything about their siblings? Nope.
In fact, I will go on record as saying that I have absolutely no idea if, say, Dave Mack or Dayton Ward have foster sisters or not.
I realise Michael is not Vulcan by biology but she is by orientation. We know quite a bit about her family - Spock included. That's because she's a tag on. You would think she would be mentioned in the vast opportunities beyond Discovery. Except obviously she wasn't invented until now. That's just one of the traps of being in the timeline it is, things get forced in.
No, I would not expect that.
I'm more interested in her biological family. That's the one thing about her that's been barely touched upon. We just know they died in a Klingon attack.
Right now she's a disgraced criminal who started a war. If I were Spock, and found living with humans trying at the best of times, I'd probably downplay that connection for the same reason he never brought up the half brother who disgraced the family.
And it's also got to hurt Spock deep down knowing his father cares more about Michael than he does Spock.
I don't. They're basically just elaborated bald versions of the 24th century Klingons. Look at the 'photoshop hair on these Klingonms' thread, with hair, they are eerily similar
Was Kor in "Blood Oath" not the same Kor because they changed his make up? Heck, Worf himself went through a few makeup changes.
Wonder why when the creators of the JJ Abrams Trek kept Kirk looking like Kirk, and Spock was almost a caricature. You could still recognise all the leads as being familiar to TOS versions, not just in spirit but in look. We weren't given a different composition of what a human looks like. With the Vulcan example of Spock the basic model is the same. Yet with Klingons it's open season to change their look! I got used to the Worf version and for some reason Discovery decided to go with the bald hideous reptile look. It really doesn't feel like it fits.
Humans actually exist.
But not in ours. In our universe they are fiction. Humans, not so much.Really?
In Trek universe these other aliens do too
Don't be shoving your head canon on me.
I was just reading some of the BTS ideas tossed around about Klingons, including why Kang, Kor and Koloth had the ridges. They were told that Klingons lived for 300 years, and that they slowly changed as they aged and hence-ridges.
Is logical...
Didn't used to be that way. Vulcan females actually had different hairstyles.
