So if star trek was always woke, then why are they so certain an OG fan wouldn't make it woke?

Because of how the Overton window has moved over past generations. Someone who was woke in the 60s and didn't change their opinions since then would end up standing far to the right of the GOP establishment, like a more extreme version of what happened with 80s democrat Trump.

Plus there's the cultural vandalism angle. Can't hire someone who loves a thing when the goal is to destroy it.
