Also the playable Kobayashi Maru only tops out at T4. And the Elachi Frigate was an oddball that year to get outside of our usual 3 seasonal event ships per year.
Like ANY reward... it can be useful, but probably not for everyone. Look at it this way. Its an account unlock so any new alts have access to it as an option. Other than that... no one is under any obligation to use it. Can just get the account unlock and move on.
Good point. Even if you don't want the console, the event is part of getting a free lock box or promo pack ship, or 2 x T6 zen store ships of your choice. That's more than generous enough for me.
Because if you believe the reward isn't worth the effort or your time, you're saving those things.
So you either get an interesting reward, or it's not interesting to you but then you don't need to concern yourself with it.

Also a good point. I've skipped many events and red alerts where I didn't care about the reward. Cryptic doesn't promise to provide you with an event that you want to play every day of the year. If you don't want to play, don't. Get Game Pass and work through the 300+ games there, go crazy at GoG.com, whatever is fun for you.
Meanwhile, I'm still climbing up the board on Fallout 76, trying to see how far I can make it in Fortnite without giving them any money, playing through Mass Effect Legendary Edition... I got stuff I can do, ya know?
Expanded answer: There are plenty of rewards i think are "dumb" or "useless" for various personal reasons, but even then, I don't think they're BAD rewards. A) because they're free... or "Free" since you DO have to earn them and invest the time. Or, now that you can out right buy them, either from the event buyout or later on from mudd's.
Regardless of what i think or what issues i have with a reward, there are always going to be people that like them or find a way to make them useful. No matter how bad a reward might actually be, there are always going to be a few people that enjoy it.

We already got a bonus ship this year too. We got the Mirror Gagarin.
And apparently there's another one coming 'relatively soon' too, according to the notes from the latest Ten Forward Weekly.

The worst thing is that it's not hard because the game requires skill or it's a difficult mission to complete. A STO event consist of repeating one incredibly easy and boring task a lot of times - it's not a very good system to pike interest in the game.

It's difficult for any content-based game to remain entertaining forever and for tens of thousands of hours. Even the low-content PVP games get replaced over time by the new shooty flavor of the year.
I've put 1,000+ hours into Fallout 4 (100% Steam achievements, woo!) but that is over 6 1/2 years, with long often year-plus breaks in between replays. There's no way I'd have as much fun playing it day in day out. It's also a game with hundreds of user mods, Foundry on steroids.
I'd recommend accepting that STO isn't going to remain as entertaining to you as when you first started. Try taking breaks, skipping events, etc. and playing more of other games. Come back when you start to miss it.
Probably doesn't fit with most peoples builds. Might work for a theme build if someone wanted to run around like a magic user. But for most things... its seasonal theme fluff that is situational. But I'm sure there's someone out there having fun with it.
Bad Event.....Rewards; or
Bad.....Event Rewards.

My hang up is that I am going to soon have an Event Campaign IV box and I still haven’t opened the EC III box! I just can’t decide which ship/option to get!

I have a T6 token from...4?....years ago that I haven't spent yet. I'll make up my mind eventually
It's more like is an event worth my TIME grinding for its reward? Some armor pieces are fun to have, but do not qualify to use on higher difficulties etc... Dilithium if bought out early is a plus
Only the individual can define that and answer that for themselves. "One man's junk is another man's treasure."

Before doing that, look at how much dil you could get with it from the exchange. On PC, 100 zen = 50,000 dil.
But in this case, its a combined Event Reward in that the current Event also gives you progress towards receiving one of the following: A LockBox Ship/2 Free T6 Tokens/1500 Lobi
Thus there is effectively more than one reward being 'worked for' in game.
