I've been thinking about this too, and I feel like this is modern Trek leaning more and more into Movie Trek vs TV Trek.
Star Trek TMP, Star Trek IV, First Contact, Nemesis (iirc), Star Trek (09), Into Darkness (sort of) all have saving Earth plot points. They lean into this as it's an easy way to raise the stakes for a movie outing first a TV episode.
Having one of every year between Picard and Discovery really lessens the give a #### meter.
