I was actually mildly annoyed LD chose to make him a joke in that moment tbh. It was true to character sure, but I hate to see a legacy character given success just so we can watch them loose it on screen.
It’s just mean writing. For the sake of a comedy bit that amounts to ‘some things never change’
Without going into every little thing let’s look at where they end up.
Nog: Star Fleet captain with enough renown to have a ship named after him.
Rom: Reformist leader of an entire race
Quark: Franchised business owner. (That gets fined into near poverty for failing to pay licensing fees for his equipment)
He recovers all the time from that kind of thing. He’ll be fine.

Quark said it himself with the final line of DS9: “Ah, it’s like I said: the more things change, the more they stay the same.”
oh lol. I thought this was particle physics
