I think the serialized format it eventually took on is what has kept it from wider syndication. Most of the time shows are in syndication, the network picks and chooses the most popular episodes, whereas with DS9, it would be very hard to skip through a lot of the episodes without making it hard to follow. Essentially, it is far more suited for streaming services.
I heard that’s the same reason that they kept the title Karate Kid for the remake in which he learned Kung-Fu instead of Karate. It would have been too easy to put a C in the middle of Kung-Fu Kid.
I had a roommate once who would get inebriated and go on eBay. I think his best purchase was a full size Pac-Man arcade game. He also acquired a Flowbee hair cutting system.
Through idiomatic usage, dampener has taken the same meaning as damper, but as my dynamics professor was fond of saying, one of them terms means to slow motion, the other means to get something wet.
