For some reason DS9 was "Short Staffed" for a lot of the early seasons.
It seems like the desire to serve on DS9 wasn't that high in it's "Early Seasons".
You'd effectively be out in the Boonies on the Frontier.

The whole point early on was what a poor assignment it was. The senior staff are all pretty low ranked. Sisco doesn't want to be there, Dax is there for Sisco and Bashir wants to be there because it's a dump.
It was a less desirable assignment. Lower Decks style.
And it showed, they were under staffed compared to a Typical StarShip or StarBase.
Had a hard time understanding him last episode. When he goes rapid or starts doing that darn whisper voice that's so prevalent. (Well that pretty much everybody .. Cant understand when they whisper.. )
I've finally caught up (for the record, I watch these episodes on a High-Definition Television with standard speakers). The problem here is a triad: the texture of his voice, the volume of his voice and the clip (i.e., speed) of his voice. Affecting an alternative accent is probably not going to smooth over his timbre, but he should be able to amplify his speech (unless his larynx is built differently or compromised, I suppose). When his delivery is reduced to a normal/slower pace, he is acceptably comprehensible; unfortunately, the trend nowadays - both in everyday life and certainly in acting - is to speak at an increasingly quicker rate.

Interesting. I have a deep voice, too. One person called me "The White Barry White".People at times have a hard time hearing me because in addition to being deep its also "quiet".
Barry White White.
Barry White Squared.
The Blindingly White Barry.
"Serve me a Barry on white bread."
(Why, yes, I am easily amused.)
Sadly on the Xbox app where I watch it. Paramount + captions suck, or I would turn them on. There just to small and blend into the background.
I've watched a few films that featured primarily bright backgrounds and were accompanied by yellow/white subtitles.

I suspect a lot of what you're reacting to is actually contemporary Western beauty culture's preference for people with low body fat and well-defined cheek bones.
But either way, given how many actors from DIS and SNW are from the province, I think maybe you should refer to it as an Ontario look, not a California look.
This just in, TV show hires attractive people. More on this as it develops.
I'm outraged! I demand a recast!
My understanding is that certain kinds of people/appearances are going to become less common (maybe even nonexistent) in the future, due to continuously progressing medical technology.
Like?
Whut???
- Consistently better nutrition and sleep patterns result in healthier looking skin.
- Superior stress reduction techniques extend actual vitality not to mention vital appearances.
- Cosmetic/"plastic" surgery becomes increasingly cheaper, easier and more comprehensive.
- Genetic screening removes the possibility of a host of hereditary illnesses.
