Mine is that Discovery should have been a series taking place in the Picard era.

There's a recent episode in Lower Decks where they liberate a planet from capitalism..... by essentially taking all the "worthless" gold and jewels and giving it to Space Pirate Royalty to broker a peace deal between them and the Federation.

I don't doubt that the majority of the occupants of said planet are now happier not having to grind for capital...., but apparently having capital is still an immensely useful resource that the Federation is happy to, uh, quietly commandeer in lieu of payment for its, uh, services to the planet(?)

I still need to catch up on the latest season(s?) of lower decks. And given the fact that lower decks is a comedy, and borderline non-canon, I'd take that with a giant grain of salt.
