Gene Roddenberry also possibly rewrote every script so he'd get credit and money for it. He created Star Trek, and gave us years of wonderful entertianment, that can't be argued, but the man wasn't a saint. He basically abandonned the show during TOS, after painting a target on it by constantly berating the very network it was on. He was more insterested in rewriting scripts to try and get Shatner, and then Nimoy to hawk his IDIC medallion from Lincoln Enterprises, than to step in and save the quality of the show, despite the actors begging him to.
So these modern showrunners may have their issues, and the direction they are taking it may not be to your liking, but I don't think not slavishly following established continuity makes them lazy or soulless. And if some fans (including myself) dig some of it, that doesn't make us any less fans than those who demand such strict adherence to continuity. For some, it just isn't as much of a deal breaker.
