The years of research and development were spent making sure it didn't end up in self-aware megalomaniacal computer storage

Not believable. Starfleet trying to fix glaring issues with their technology in an attempt to prevent those issues from happening in the future? They could never!

When they refit the Enterprise-E after fighting Shinzon, they gave the captain's chair a seatbelt.

It happens.

How is the seatbelt supposed to work when the ship activates its Pegasus-style phasing-cloaking device?

Actually the years were spent converting Moriarty's holomatrix to the EMH. It explains his bedside manner perfectly.

This 100%. In Star Trek, it's easy to make intelligent life by accident: Badgey, Exo-Comps, Lore, Wesley's unnamed nanites. The hard part is keeping them from taking over the ship and killing all the organics.
