This is what I recall hearing from Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard);
Stewart, after being offered the role of Captain Picard asked Gene Roddenberry if it made sense that in the 25th (or whatever) century, there would still be male pattern baldness. I mean they could replicate food and cure most diseases using high tech, would there really be bald men? And Roddenberry thought about it and said “Yes, in the 25th century they could cure it, but also in the 25th century, as a society, they don’t care if you’re bald or not”
Totally paraphrased of course. In other words, the enlightened man would “live with it”.
