The death of sincerity is the death of verisimilitude. Stories like Star Trek need to treat themselves seriously. After all, if the writers don't treat the setting seriously and poke fun at the ridiculousness of it all, why would the audience treat it seriously? To be immersive, to convince you that this fictional world can exist, it has to treat itself seriously.
Lower Decks irreparably damaged Star Trek. It's a very devious type of cancer. By being meta, it forever destroyed the believability of Roddenberry's world. And now all other NuTrek slop shows follow in its footsteps. Strange New Worlds is a parody.
TL;DR Self-awareness is the death of immersion and believability. Star Trek is dead.
