They save them in tos as well.
Only because Kirk hadn't banged them yet.
(yes I'm adding to my joke hours later. do something about it. bitch.)
In TOS Kirk really leans into not interfering with the “healthy” development of a civilization. If it isn’t healthy in his judgement, he interferes. So, essentially when it comes to Kirk if it offends his sensibilities he assumes free reign change it while paying lip service to the idea of non-intervention.
Colonialism at its finest! The Apple is the absolute perfect example. "But Spock, these people don't even f*ck! We gotta destroy that lizard cave!"
Yeah, but in TOS we also see what happens if you forget a book about the chicago mob of the 1920s on a developing planet.
