Star Trek fans have held the national stereotype of being way too rabid about things for decades but they’re probably the nicest fan base in all of science fiction and the one least likely to have a large faction of them absolutely lose it over a torpedo being fired by a woman or dumb shit like that
Honestly, my thought was always just that they could replicate equipment and components as needed but it was a power intensive process.
There is a whole episode of Voyager where they land the ship to do repairs on it, and I just figure that happens more than we're shown.
I agree though, I would have preferred Voyager to have all crazy Borg shit forever. Would have been sick to have all this jury-rigged bullshit, almost like how DS9 is totally fucked.
