    In DIS, it’s stated that Starfleet

    discovered a chimeric strain on the subatomic level in the Terran stem cell, implying that this could explain the Terran inclination towards malevolence.

    Georgiou described the Terrans as “untroubled by pesky motivations”, other than revenge. Kovich observed that they created the Terran Empire for no particular reason beyond simply feeling like it.

    So it’s possible (and on-screen appearances don’t really seem to dispute this) that Terrans are just mean and, subsequently, emotionally immature leading to the Hunger Games-esque line of succession you’re describing.
