Abrahams’ Trek was focused on action scenes and drama, while the legacy of Trek is very much focused on reflecting the problems of modern society, the hope for a better future for mankind, and using diplomacy even when it’s hard to do so.
They also made quite significant changes to the characters, which felt rather unnecessary to me. The recent Trek movies were fine (better than most older Trek movies, no time travel to talk to whales) but I didn’t think they were very Star Trek. I think the movies would’ve gone down better if he hadn’t used Trek as a basis for his movie.
