You’ll notice in the show, unless your skills were military or science or medicine or engineering, you generally didn’t go gallivanting around the galaxy. You either stayed home or you did go to space, but your trips were much more local.
It’s probably the same with technology. For example, the replicators, if you were considered valuable then you could create almost perfectly replicated foods. If you were common, you could probably only create those geometric shapes that only tasted something like food but met your nutritional needs. If you were important, you could use the transporter. If unimportant, the shuttle.

You know in the past where Gout was once considered a “rich man’s” disease because he could afford the sources of Protein more readily than a common man could so he ate more of it. Imagine Elites starting to suffer “transporter phase dementia” or some such illness in greater numbers vs average joes, because the elites used transporters more than the average joes.
It brings up another subject. In well developed solar systems...wave guided matter transporters(we’re also talking about access to cheap unlimited energy sources) would be more efficient in delivering cargo to various planets in that solar system than the use of large carrier freighters.
That would explain why the Maquis and a lot of colonists had gardens. The replicator may have “free” stuff for those on welfare, but you have to work doing maintenance on equipment or caring for human needs to get the better stuff. Or else you work for it by making items in the real world.
Kind of like the “dole yeast” in Larry Niven’s books, enough to keep you alive if down and out but no one liked to eat it.
