Janeway leads with focus on her mission - to get her crew home

I don't believe that AOC has seen more than about three episodes of Voyager. If she had seen at least three, the statistical likelihood that she would have seen one where Janeway yanks the crew into some conflict they have absolutely no business involving themselves in would approach 100%

That's all of Star Trek.

In fact, that's almost all of most of the space drama series.

Also the family vacation series

Well yes, but when Janeway does it, we mind. Because… reasons…

Poor statement of her mission. IIRC Janeway says pretty clearly in one of the first episodes that they're still going to carry out their duty as a Starfleet ship to seek out new life and new civilizations, boldly go, etc. That's their mission, and getting home is an important part but not all of it.

I think Equinox was a really good story about what a starfleet crew looks like if they abandon their principles in order to get home.
