Seems like you’re making a a bad faith argument.

Seems why? For me it doesn't seem so, and it likely won't, but maybe you can add some detail.

I dunno, for me Door Into Summer is harder sci-fi, but Foundation is harder sci-fi too, and Starship Troopers is harder sci-fi, and Dune is harder sci-fi as well, and Citizen of the Galaxy is harder sci-fi, and one can go on. Pilot Pirx is very hard sci-fi, and many other things by Lem.

Star Trek is not more similar to those than Star Wars.

Pew pew lasers and swords and magic is hardly technologies’ potential impact on humanity

Mockery is not an argument in itself and would somewhat hurt your main argument if such were made.

Dune has drugs that give people magic powers. Foundation has magic mind powers.

That's no different than Vulcan mind powers.

Dune and foundation aren't more sci-fi than Trek.
