I wouldn’t really look at it like that. There was even a nurse Chapel and doctor M’benga in TOS. This story is about Pike, but we already know what happens to him, just not the exact “why” or “how”.
And obviously when Pike’s accident happens Starfleet wouldn’t just replace the whole crew. So there has to be a sense of continuity from one captain to the next. Technically, we’re still on our 2nd chief engineer and Scotty is just a technician. We haven’t met or even heard of a McKoy, Chekov, or Suli.
This story is about Pike, and all the main crew of the Enterprise when Kirk took command would have known Pike and even worked with him.
I think this show is being done brilliantly and is the first real Trek since Voyager (I haven’t watched lower decks yet, and Picard was very odd feeling).
