The single most important aspect of Star Trek is its depth. Star Trek has survived not because it has the best stories but because its cannon has more depth than any fictional world ever created.
The long term viability of the stories and hence the long term capability of the franchise to make money relies on that depth. Their wouldn't have been 4 series and 10 movies without it.
If the current holders of the cannon forget that people will stop watching. While people will continue to make Shrek XIV and Transformers XXI but the lack of depth has lead to considerable viewer reduction over time.
