Exactly. I feel that TOS and TNG approached these issues with way more style and creativity. Where TOS had Half Black/Half White Aliens wrestling, or civilizations oppressed by malfunctioning Supercomputers, Enterprise just transplanted current events into space and changed the names.
Furthermore, Enterprise plots were constantly tied to military heirarchy. Too often the drama was merely about whether to obey orders or not, rather than exploring broader issues.
An exception was the episode where they cloned Trip.
