What you have with Enterprise are two individuals, Berman and Braga, who have worn out their welcome in the Trek universe at least 10 years ago. Unfortuantly Paramount executives just don't get it and they handed the franchise over to these two who are managing to kill it. Their formula is tired, they have manage to alienate a lot of tried and true Trek fans, and they really, really, really hate the original series. And as for the last statement it is a known and written fact, especially Braga, that Kirk & Company is something they truly wish would just disappear. They have little if any respect. Every chance they get they take continuity and throw it out the window. That is why there are so many descrepencies in Enterprise. And as for the writers, well lets just say that B&B have the uncanny ability to hire people that don't know sci-fi, nor do they know the first thing about what makes a good story: characters. In B&B's case techno-gizmos and techno-babble always came first. If you don't believe me check out Voyager. Talk about garbage. How it stayed on the air for 7 years is amazing considering the ratings were so poor. But then again, UPN doesn't have all that much to show. Basically B&B are creating Trek in their own image. Shelley's Frankenstein anyone?
