I'm not enough of a Trekie to have made this connection, but it rings true from what I've seen. I wonder why Star Trek took a different path than Space Odyssey, Termintor, Battlestar Galactica, and company.
Gene Roddenberry explicitly wanted to present an optimistic vision of humanity. It's probably the most pro-human and most utopian of all the major sci-fi franchises.
Although there are occasionally interpersonal conflicts arising between the humans, most of the drama in Star Trek is about how the humans will resolve some moral dilemma that arises due to interacting with alien cultures, in addition to standard sci-fi actiony stuff
