Really because the person who made DS9 went against Roddenberry's  vision at least some elements and quite a few episodes were devoted to tearing down it's mythology . 

A capitalist (quark ) gets a major sympathetic role 
A dark character like Garak also gets a sympathetic role 
Sisko is  the anti Picard 
The Federation is depicted as heavy handed and at time hypocritical  
It adds the supernatural and religion to a series that was highly secular 
And it kind of became pro war as the Federation becomes slowly more militaristic 

Just some thoughts

I don't think the Federation became pro-war. I think that they were shaken out of their complacent "peace at any cost" attitude and realised they would have to actually fight occasionally after Wolf 359.

Remember the Defiant (to me the best small ship to come out of Starfleet), was the first specially designed warship the Federation had built, and it was specifically designed to fight the Borg.
