I hadn't watched any Trek in a while and in Picard there was a scene where their ship was hit and started listing like a boat and I was like "that's not how space works!", then remembered that's the thing with Star Trek.

You got to remember that Star Trek is based upon submarines warfare.

I mean, once your have artificial gravity... why wouldn't it suck just like normal gravity?

People lurch around the bridge because some photon torpedo rocked the "down is this way" machine.

Oh inside the ship definitely, but outside space doesn't have a down. If a photon torpedo really hit the front it would push the ship backwards, not to the front and down. But it's ok, it's just a bit of fun 🚀

Why would a ship stay level when smacked? Artificial gravity's not a gyroscope.
