ENT had protein re-sequencers and TOS/SNW/DIS has some level of food processors, but not exactly replicators (DIS did mess up the canon a little bit though, for that one burrito scene…)
Though arguably the same logic applies since it’s the captain taking out precious time from his schedule to prepare a meal for up to 15-20 people at a time, something the ship’s galley would be more suited for (after all the whole point of having a galley and kitchen is that the officers can focus on their work instead of chores).
The chronologically earlier series shots are there for the sake of progression. And you’re right, Pike doing all that cooking is a privilege he likes to exercise.
SNW is not yet post-replicator times.

DIS too? But, I thought, but… Really?
