In our defense, it is VERY post-apocalyptic, like 400 years or so depending on where you tag in.
It’s not like the bombs dropped yesterday and all of a sudden they have holodecks and microwaves that make food out of raw materials and transporters and warp drives.
If you consider our technology in 1625 versus today, Having that kind of tech in 2425 seems perfectly reasonable.

According to Star Trek canon, all the apocalyptic stuff lasts for about a century, tops. The Eugenics Wars started in 1992 (pre-retcon to make them happen further in the future), the nuclear exchange happened no later than 2053, the Vulcans showed up in 2063, and Earth society appeared to be completely recovered by 2121 (the time of Enterprise).
Fun fact: according to Star Trek canon, we’re about to be living through the worst of the apocalyptic period starting about right now. The Bell Riots (unrest in California regarding “sanctuary” districts – sound familiar?) would’ve happened last year, and the Second World War/WWIII is due to start next year.
That’s because it’s in the subgenre of “post-post-apocalyptic.” Think Nausicaä, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Planet of the Apes. The apocalypse happened so long ago that it’s more of a history lesson than an ongoing concern
People always forget that Star Trek is post-apocalytic science fiction.

Then let’s hope they get dropped off at the right time.

If you want to live in a fictional universe, you should mention when.
I want to live in the world of Land of the Lustrous, but waaay in the past before human civilization collapsed
That’s a shower thought if any.
I mean technically we live in a post apocalyptic era too.
It’s that it was before humans were around.
So is adventure time, what’s your point
