      Star Trek was never hard sci-fi, never was.

      Maybe not, but it was always about fairly long journeys of days, weeks, months, even years. Instant travel removes the core of the experience.

          The more that was emphasized as an actual plot beat, the worse those movies tended to be received. The most fondly remembered ones at least implied a sense of distance and travel time, such as Wrath of Khan and Undiscovered Country.
