This was my first thought too. How could you look down at millions of people starving and not step in with medical technology, food, or even just some fucking replicators for that matter?
Liberals would call that imperialism I guess.
Because the capitalists on that planet would just steal the replicators and build weapons with them
The Federation would also supply the people of the oppressed planets with the immortal science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism as well as the supplies and weapons to liberate themselves.
Even in the most optimistic scenarios that would still result in countless planetary World Wars lol, in the the words of Captain Jean Luc Picard “The Prime Directive is a most correct philosophy”
Banks solves this in The Culture with Special Circumstances, which "gently" removes the impediments a species might have to achieve post-scarcity (and who are considered absolutely scary psychopaths by the civilisation at large.) This bites them in the arse at least once, when they try to dismantle a divinely ordered caste system only to find out the gods actually exist.
Gotta tito the capitalists first
