That's what happens when you write a backstory to give an actor insight on how to play a role, then toss it out after she's played it. You get a performance with aspects that only make sense if you refer back to the unused backstory. I often wonder how many films I've seen where I've puzzled over why a character behaves "that way" because the films don't have the kind of following that Trek has that digs up BHS info.
Have you actually not ever noticed over Trek's 50+ year history that nobody, not even their allies, actually seems to like the Vulcans and that people perceive them to be arrogant and are constantly trying to get under their skin and get them to lose control?
Since you're not watching the newer Treks you may not have seen, but sometime after the TNG Nemesis movie the Romulan star goes nova, resulting in the alternate timeline of the newer films and the present days of the Picard and Discovery series. Back in the original timeline, "the entire Romulan race" has been reduced to the populations of the Romulans' former colonial settlements, which by the 29th century the Vulcans have taken in. The reunification is depicted as tenuous.
