It won't for much longer. Last season. And at no point did it bring them success and profit. Also, their Klingons were literally blackface. The actor who played the first season's bad guy (that onyx-black lizardlike Klingon) died recently. He was fucking white.
Imagine thinking this is still about profit.
I do think the pitch was, "this will expand the Modern Audience and only a couple of Nazis will complain! Free money!!!" The fact that this hasn't panned out at all is causing a fair amount of stress to the system.
The original Klingon concept for STD was that they were gonna be an allegory for white nationalism. You'd never know it today, because they drew their idea of white nationalism from flavor-of-the-month Dem propaganda at some point in 2017. It's unrecognizable without having it spelled out for you by 2017 Twitter's "trending" section.
Meanwhile, wasn't their entire conflict stemmed from the bitch MC destroying a Klingon vessel on sight?
It was a combination of her executing the Klingon cult (?) leader instead of taking him prisoner, STD Klingons being written as lunatics, and STD Klingons accidentally being written as heroes who recognize the existential threat their shitlib neighbors pose to their culture.
