Legend
I don't agree, a human raised on Vulcan could have made for and interesting character. It's didn't, but with better writing it could have done.no other reason for Burnham to be raised on Vulcan than to lead into that.
But I agree with your main point - backdoor pilots are well known, and it's expected that the audience will recognise one when they see one.
And have a long history in Star Trek.
