Fan service academy does sound like more fun, but they probably would have ruined those characters by bringing them back again, just like Picard.
Honestly, it's not ####ing rocket science but they've treated it as such since the end of voyager.
All they need to do is set a show in the year 2380 (year after nemesis) with a totally new crew unrelated to all previous, and a totally new ship unrelated to all previous. Then just make them do #### in universe where the familiar characters exist as background noise or legends, with maybe a seasonal 1 episode special cameo from someone like Janeway or whatever.
That would be an A+ series.
Instead, we're getting whatever the #### this and section 31 are supposed to be.
