The Federation is helping a planet transition out of capitalism to post-scarcity, and it's basically a huge celebration.

Almost everyone that likes DS9 on the internet seems to chant "DAE IN THE PALE MOONLIGHT" and that's kind of sus to me. I'm not saying the episode was bad as much as it's sus to be that excited about its "Adults In The Room" messaging.
The even worse example is "For the Uniform" where Sisko does a war crime specifically against anti-fascist guerillas. And most people I see talking about it, even here, defend his actions as necessary Adult In The Room Hard Choices.
I agree with you. I just hear more about "DAE IN THE PALE MOONLIGHT" from the "you're a child if you're not enjoying Rick Berman's Adults In The Room Making Hard Decisions" war crime apologia side of the fandom.
Also, I hate the diagetic essentialist "Thermian Argument" that just because the narration claims that atrocities were necessary that they were the only way that could have worked.
