    I think a good head cannon for this is that a mug is such a basic thing that you don’t really need to keep re-inventing a new design from scratch. So when a new replicator system/technology comes out, you just port stuff over from the old one. Like maybe it’s one of those patterns in the replicator database that just goes back eons to united earth or something.
