It sounds like its a false rumour, but that Star Trek Legacy was very likely planned all along, and that fans were baited on purpose into the petition for it so that it would look like it was the fans idea, not Kurtzman and his teams idea, because Kurtzman knows he hated in a large chunk of the fandom for the JJ Abrams movies and early nu trek (Discovery & S1&2 of Picard).
I admire Kurtzman, the man is playing series 4d chess and not just outwitting the entire fandom, but playing even those who hate him as pawns to build him Star Trek Empire with.
