Yup. Precisely. Imagine the reaction if a hard core Trek fan was given carte blanche to take over the Star Wars franchise as a reboot and decided to toss it all out. I’m sure the reaction would be visceral. Turn it around and they call it fresh and exciting. It was just an insult and vandalism, as you said.
They blew up Vulcan for crying out loud. What is the Trek universe without Vulcan? In the “new” trek universe Spock never goes through Pon Farr and fights Kurk to the death.
It is just so arrogant and disrespectful.
