Well, it was only a matter of time, it's Paramount, and they can't just leave things be - they need to woke things up and ruin good shows.
There was absolutely no need for 7 of 9 to be a lesbian, none. I'm pretty sure on reboots that the writers first question is: "who didn't have an obvious heterosexual relationship that we can turn into a gay person?" Every single show must have a prominent alphabet. Now, it was just a kiss and I don't have any issue with that, or even with them being lesbians, but it really serves no purpose in the show whatsoever.
Fortunately anything bad about Picard is redeemed in season 3. You can just go ahead and consider season 3 to be Star Trek the Next Generation Season 8! It was an amazing ending. I could completely leave seasons 1 and 2 behind and just extend STTNG with the final season of Picard. Absolutely amazing.
