The Trek episode based on his script was massively, massively rewritten from his script, something he bitched and moaned about forever. And the original script wouldn’t have worked as a Trek episode and Roddenberry was right to have it rewritten.

This is wishcasting from the “vive la révolution”-adjacent crowd.
