It's just Memberberries, like Star Wars keeps doing. I find this so tedious — seeing the same people over and over makes the galaxy feel too small.

It's actually much more similar to how they kept using Majel Barrett as the voice of the computer across multiple series.

And it makes sense in-universe for The Doctor to be 800 years old and still working; it's not like they're contriving a way for Harry Kim or Phlox to be there, much as we may want to see them again.

That's a very good point, I only thought of the good doctor as a character, not a replicable computer program (despite us seeing several in VOY). It still feel slike fan service, but seeing him is at least much more plausible than running into Riker at every turn.
