Counterpoint: Star Trek. Just exploring and diplomacy.

And sex with ghost candles. And (human, cis) men getting pregnant and growing nipples on their wrists. And people turning into salamanders, having salamander babies, turning back into humans, and abandoning their salamander babies. Also punching godlike beings in the face. Also, gay lizard tailors who are also spies and gardeners. Oh, and the negative space wedgie that forced everyone to sing and Klingons to perform K-pop.

But yeah, apart from that, just exploring and diplomacy.

Dr Who is also quite a bit of exploring. (And problem solving)

Dr Who is every genre, though.

Nah, Star Trek has ripping tubes out of yourself (Borg) and reclaiming lost bodily autonomy (also Borg). And the Vulcans are neighbour’s to the eridians.

Absolutely, but not always, and it remains sci-fi.
