Oh, I agree. I just think having more age appropriate choices for other characters would have been nice too.
Spock and Uhura seem to be roughly the right ages for the time the show is set. But Kirk is too old (the actor hides it well, lucky bastard) and Scotty far too young.
And McCoy makes no sense if cast too young given the nature of his personality, relationship to Kirk, etc. So, like you, I would prefer to go older as opposed to too young, like they did with Scotty.
Of all the original main characters I accept having aged up actors, Bones is the one that I most easily accept.
That doesn’t mean I need or want to accept other actors being aged up just to match. Bones being played by someone a little older is not a huge deal.

I think it’s the inconsistency that bugs me.
Nah, Spock’s too young, vulcans age slow.
