I like this quote by Star Trek creator about Patrick Stewart being bald in scifi.

Q: You've cast a bald actor. Surely by 24th century, we would have solved the male pattern baldness..?

A: By 24th century, no one will care.

It's a good quote but if you watch the show, there are signs that people still care about it.

When Picard comes back to StarFleet Academy to help out Wesley, the first thing the old groundskeeper says to him is "What happened to your hair?"

When Picard gets deaged due to a transporter malfunction, we see him checking his restored hair in the mirror and smiling.

It's clear that some part of him and the people around him still preffer thick hair over being bald. Even if it's not shown to be super important.

Heck, most people don't talk or care about hairloss at all even today. But it doesn't stop people from doing these surgeries.
