Well it was intentional so you're right. Each show has a character with a similar personality(or lack of one). Gene Roddenberry seemed to like the "straight man" vs the macho Kirk type. Imo Riker fills that role on TNG but he's doesn't act like a scumbag. It gives them a chance to have an oblivious, innocent character dealing with these strange humans.
