That's... Not how that went down. Syd Mead is the defacto father of 95% of all sci-fi aesthetics and he started out as a machine designer.
It comes and goes in cycles but a loooooooot of 70s-80s sci-fi was incredibly grounded in American, European and japanese depictions alike.
On top of that many of the old school designs simply worked off contemporary understanding not a lack of understanding.
At the end of the day what matters is that your designs serve your narrative. A cybernetic dinosaur with massive rivets and laser eyes is as inappropriate for a Talk no Jutsu space politics setting as massive sleek ships with giant recreation areas and free individual transports for every crewman would be for a parable about the dangers of corporate overreach nvm the fact that a realistic ship could easily provide that.
