You forgot to add in that Voyager directly led to the creation of the Kelvin timeline. By the time that Voyager made it home, the ship was so powerful, it could swat down galaxy killing enemies with ease. The Borg destroyed the bulk of the Federation fleet at Wolf 359, with just one ship, but Voyager dismantled their entire civilization. They were almost invincibly advanced. Where do you go from there?
Whomever was in charge of the Star Trek brand at that time, very nearly made a billion dollar mistake, and the method used to correct that mistake gave the world some pretty unspectacular Star Trek.
