Has there been any official (from the studio or owners) reason why we haven’t seen a new Star Trek show set after Voyager?
So far every new Star Trek show or movie is around The Original Series or close to an already established show:
Why haven’t we seen a show set years after Voyager and we follow a new crew unrelated to any series?

I’m aware this question asks for any material set after Nemesis, but I’m looking for an official studio reason why we haven’t seen a new completely separate Star Trek series after Voyager and Nemesis.
Rick Berman and other producers for the franchise struggled to come up with compelling ideas for sufficiently advanced technology beyond what had already been shown in the previous shows, or at least ideas that would make for good television. In this interview he mentions that the studio was interested in doing a show set in the 26th century, to which he responds "So, the spandex is a little tighter? The ships will go Warp 14?" I've also seen Berman quoted (though I don't have a source for this one) as saying "to go forward didn’t really offer us very much. To go forward meant spaceships that were a little sleeker and ships that were a little shinier, but there wasn’t that much to invent that we hadn’t invented already".
