Great story, and very true!
There’s a lot in Star Trek (and other SF) that exists for narrative purposes or other practical production concerns. My understanding is that the transporter was created because making crew fly down on shuttles would be expensive to film and boring to watch. Hence, the transporter, which is essentially magic, and has implications far beyond what the show/films cover.
