I think it often has to do with the scale of the ship. Operations on a starship with crew numbering in the dozens to hundreds might be closer to operations on a naval vessel than aviation. We don't have aircraft with that scale of a crew or aircraft that operate away from base for such a long period of time.
The other thought is, uh, well that's what Star Trek did.
The most crewed aircraft doesn't even have the crew size of a British sloop!
