My impression was, that they somehow ignored Rom’s character development he had in DS9, he became the Grand Nagus because of his ways of doing things.
In the LD episode he really only did silly stuff, while his wife handled the more serious stuff with the captain.
Or i remember his development on DS9 much deeper than it really was.
I think it might be time for a rewatch of the series.
I’m late, but happy star trek day anyway
