Here is another take on it, coming to a different conclusion by someone (Dave Cullen) who despises most of modern trek but seems to enjoy the third season of Picard:

I was frankly amazed that Dave Cullen of all people was sent a review copy of Picard S3. Either Paramount/Amazon don't know who he is, or there's a legitimate attempt to extend an olive branch to "the fans" going on. Hopefully the latter, but if so there is almost certainly going to be a backlash from the teens and twentysomethings these franchises have been targeting (largely unsuccessfully) over the last few years.
