Different technology. Turbo lasers are not lasers.

And the Death Star Laser is so powerful that it basically pushes its target into hyperspace
Plus your average Federation star ship has 2 to 10 phaser banks, an Imperial Star Destroyer has a hundred light turbo lasers and a couple of dozen heavy mounted turbo lasers.
Plus the Federation Star Fleet is fairly small at its height it had maybe a couple of hundred capital ships.
The Empire had several thousand to tens of thousands of Star Destroyers alone.
At its height the United Federation of planets had something like 175 planets. The Empire had thousands of planets.
A couple of days into any war, Picard would be shining Palpatines shoes and the hotter woman would become members of a intergalactic brothel.
