Teleporter technology is severely underutilized in the show. Unless teleporters is why its a post scarcity society? they just teleport most of the resources out of the ground? Some materials, for reasons not always explained, are not able to be teleported though.

There is a lot of tech in star trek, or any sci fi really, that makes you go "wait couldn't they use that to x" and the answer is usually yes but that wouldn't make for good television. Kinda like in that scene in the star wars sequel where they rammed the ship into the imperial mega-ship. Why would the rebels bother fighting fair fights when they can just get random old ships that can barely do hyperdrive, and just ram them into the destroyers? 1 old musky ship for one top of the line star destroyer is an insanely good trade. Or what happens if you did that into a planet? You'd essentially be able to commit a 9/11 terrorist attack on a almost shoestring budget.

The more I think about how potent this tech would be for killing, it gives me a new perspective on the great filter theory.
