Don't forget the focus of the series is centered around Michael Burnham. So it should not be odd that there is so much of the character.
Finally we are getting a perspective of the Federation, in whatever state. Believe me, there was never an exposition like this in the previous classic TV series.
The writers did a marvelous job with the secondary characters development. They have made it easy to love knowing who they are.
With this episode, Discovery has found it's place in Star Trek lore.
Only spoiler here is the cameo of the iconic Intrepid class USS Voyager. Wow!
