Finally let's just assume
Babylon 5 is questionable to cite for remaster, I disagree.
Seaquest DSV has also been remastered.
Tammy and the T Rex and Mac and Me are in 4k.

Between all of this in the industry, that means somewhere there is money for DS9 and Voyager.
DS9 and Voyager internationally also produce a lot of money.
DS9 is the critical darling as far as that goes, but it's consistent.
Extremely consistent.
Voyager is highly regarded internationally.
I'd argue if you're saving 40 million dollars a year by cancelling Colbert, you could greenlight these remasters tomorrow.

Add in "Section 31" was a sleeper hit, and probably even tells the fandom to wait.
It probably will never be as good as some of the other content in the franchise, but the fact that it made money long term, and has good views long term seems to be a very good sign, since now it only takes a month or two to decide if something is a cult movie or not.
Star Trek has always been a long game franchise, short term numbers aren't gonna be as good as the long term ones.
A good steward should understand those metrics.

I also feel this way, I think that corporate should actively be trying to get new fans to watch old content.
If you want new fans, they need a taste of where the franchise has been.
