In a big way the original Star Trek cast was eventually phased out until only a few of them were left, and only the memory of them was really pertinent to the story. Going out in a blaze of glory might be what a lot of fans wanted to see since Kirk had been around for so long that a lackluster ending didn’t feel right, nor did it feel like the proverbial passing of the torch.
