Why would each area of the ship need to use a different brand or model of device?
That’s sure not how military ships work now.

And none of them are interoperable. Did you really think they would solve that in the future?

They all run Syncthing and KDE Connect. What more interoperability you could expect is probably about things those devices won’t even allow you to do.

Considering that Star Trek’s Earth is a communist utopia, I would expect so, yes.

I recently read an interesting argument that the federation isn’t in fact communist, but basically something beyond our current economic concepts.
We have:
And many more, even contradictory to our current day minds, aspects that put the federation system and ideology someplace further than our current concepts.

It has always seemed to me that their society is what you’d get if the United States didn’t have billionaires hoarding 90% of the wealth. Allocate all of those resources fairly, reduce the population, add in some free electricity and replicators, and you have TNG.

post-scarcity, not communist.

They don’t have money, and other than Starfleet and The UFP council, they don’t seem to have government. I assume that someone is still administering France, since we do see France still exists, but they don’t refer to The US, because I don’t think the US survived to the 24th century. There’s an argument to be made that they’re mostly communist.
