Indeed but it was made a point that some, particularly older folks prefer grown food to replicated. So who determines who gets farmland on earth, or restaurant space in new Orleans? Is it first come first serve, hereditary or on a space share?
I mean even with seizing the means of production from reality itself there's going to be intangibles that cant be solved with a replicator. These space empires are fighting for territory and resources after all.
Basically you'll always have a time component limiting any kind of post-scarcity, no matter how much energy you have.
Your reservations required idea is good. Otherwise I can't imagine a normal shop functioning if people don't have to come work on a schedule. Like what if he just doesn't want to open the restaurant some day, or for long stretches at a time. Anyone who wanted to visit that day is just out of luck.
There is no hiding that the Federation is a fascist military dictatorship disguising their blatant junta as anything else, changing day to day what the disguise may be.
The only "rich" humans we know in the shows... Are high ranking military officers or their families, and those who deal in Latinum (the post-scarcity-isn't-actually-post-scarcity unobtanium).
It is very likely that land allocation is based on military influence. Not necessarily military rank, but just some value to them in some way. Maybe some old money, but not likely much, unless the old money funded the military takeover of Earth.
As we know from reality, people are, general rule, very dumb and easily satisfied. People will eat the bugs, they will live in the pods, they will sign away their rights and freedoms. Willingly and readily with an easy narrative. "Ownership" likely doesn't have a high premium to the vast majority of the lower castes: they will own nothing, and be happy about it, to quote our modern-era World Economic Forum. So allocations probably won't be too heavily contested.
Also Picard's brother literally had a vineyard [which he visits after being freed from the Borg and in the same episodes they have a discussion about how synthohol makes wine taste different] before it burned down just before the movie Generations and killed Picard's only remaining family. In the TNG finale a possible future showed Picard working it having retired there.
Most problems are solved by pithy morality speeches and hand-wringing. They keep the majority of space lasers for season finales and premieres. There's an occasional action episode, but the vast majority are about friendship, social bonds, honesty, and cooperation between tribes.
it's supposed to be a perfect post scarcity society where energy = matter, so anything they want they can just materialize.

all of that is handwaved away, humanity somehow changes overnight and people stop being greedy, except when it fits the plot.
I haven't watched in 20+ years but from what I remember it was internally consistent for the most part but I only ever watched next generation.

Yes, but Picard's a stupid show that exists primarily to destroy Star Trek.
Also Picard's brother literally had a vineyard [which he visits after being freed from the Borg and in the same episodes they have a discussion about how synthohol makes wine taste different] before it burned down just before the movie Generations and killed Picard's only remaining family.

Picard the show doesnt exist, it was made to shit on star trek fans, just like star ttrek diseased.
Not really.

Which basically makes it My Little Pony in space.
