Honestly I agree but I also give him the credit that Starfleet was never something he wanted to be a part of in the first place. I LOVE the character and would change nothing about him but he’s not Captain material. It sort of makes sense he doesn’t have any of those qualities of a Captain when he was forced into service in the first place and really not that long ago. He was pulled in during the Klingon war and the shows events happen either during that or not long after so he’s still pretty fresh to the fleet overall.

Completely right about the unprofessionalness too. That seemed to be allowed in Starfleet moreso in their early history, looking at you Bones and Scotty, but even Stamets pushes that at times. Chain of Command is more of a loose organizational structure to him than a true chain of command and that does hurt me a little personally. I feel like he’d probably be able to put the good of the ship before himself (We did see him sacrifice himself with the hundred-odd microjumps in Season 1) if absolutely needed but also that he’d never want to be in that position in the first place.
