I pretty much agree with you as well... Picard did have some opportunities, but not nearly as many as Kirk. However, Sisko did get quite a bit of his aggression out despite being in charge of DS9.
As for Kirk kicking the ass of Klingons (Instead of Klingons just sticking there :P .) Klingons were wimpier then affected by a human retrovirus made with genes from Kahn and his group of augmented supermen. At least that is the current lore. which was introduced in Star Trek: Enterprise. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Klingon#Augment_virus [fandom.com]
This storyline, seen in the Star Trek: Enterprise episodes "Affliction" and "Divergence", was intended in part to explain why TOS Klingons had a more Human appearance, and later Klingons did not. The writers also hoped the two-parter would shed some light on the change in the Klingons' temperament and disposition between the TOS and Star Trek: The Next Generation eras.
... AND ...
In TOS: "The Savage Curtain", the Excalbians created Kahless as an affected Klingon. This may however be attributed to the fact that they created him from the minds of Humans who at that point mostly had dealings with smooth forehead Klingons. A cure to restore Klingons to their proper appearance was presumably found some time between 2268 and 2293, as Kang was seen as a smooth-headed Klingon in TOS: "Day of the Dove" and as a normal Klingon in VOY: "Flashback". The first time normal Klingons were seen on screen was in Star Trek: The Motion Picture set in the early-2270s. In Star Trek: Discovery, set before Star Trek: The Original Series, as well as in the alternate reality also in the 2250s, Klingons are shown with forehead ridges, which means that the virus was either partially cured or not all Klingons were affected. A set used in "Will You Take My Hand?" was said to include graffiti including the insult "Your mother has a flat forehead".

Sisko was in charge of a space station, so a lot of the time potential enemies came to *him*, instead of needing to go on an away mission to find them.
