In Star Trek they have society shaping technology, in Stargåte they have rifles. That go pew pew. Not exactly the same thing.

    Tell that to the Goa'uld system lords. Or the replicators.

    Oh, wait, you can't, the fifth race went pew pew and shaped their societies out of existence.

    Only because those societies were trying to shape everyone else out of existence

    And in Star Trek they would definitely intervene in the Goa’uld Empire situation, as they did in https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/The_Return_of_the_Archons_(episode), https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/The_Apple_(episode), or any other of the thousands of situations where the captain of the Enterprise decided to punch a god in the mouth.

    Stargate is also about a conflict with a much more advanced society that has interstellar travel and uses it to oppress as many worlds as possible. The cat is out of the bag a far as any concern about interfering goes. Also, humans are the less advanced civilization here, and a lot of the time they're arming other humans.
