I feel like this has been a thing for a very long time.

Otherwise Star Trek and Star Wars wouldn't be what they are, Comic-con wouldn't be the way it is now, video game series wouldn't be where they are, and anime wouldn't either. Some corporations are slower to catch on than others and some forget and have to re-learn this again and again.

TNG/DS9/VOY-era Trek was a bunch of cheap TV shows on first-run syndication. Come on.

Of course culture has always been an industry, but I think there's a quantitative difference difference between those things, and the situation we're in now, where the MCU is the single largest and most valuable media property in history, *and* people identify and are asked by marketing to identify with it and its financial success on a personal level and as fans.

And yet, arguably better than several of the movies and other shows with bigger budgets. And if you don't think those were all about getting nerds to watch and identify themselves as nerds and talk about them, then I don't think you were paying attention. But that's not all that Star Trek was or is (live-action shows, yes, but movies, cartoons, books, merchandise, documentaries, parodies, etc.) and it's been part of nerd culture for literally half a century.
