I think it's because Roddenberry wanted Starfleet to not be a military even as it did everything militaries had to do. It caused quite a bit of horribly inefficient structures that seem to have gotten kicked out like defective genes in the franchise "species". Almost a literal evolution.

(I love how my spellcheck recognizes Roddenberry, but not militaries. How else am I supposed to pluralize military?)

Actually he was a physicist in that episode.

A few episodes later he was shown _in_ Botany but they never said that he was a Botanist, it was only implied by his interest in botany.
