As you surely know (but someone else may not), it was "no man has gone before" in the original series. It was replaced with "one" in the 1980s as a stand-in for "human of any gender, or sex".

Further, they're doing diplomatic missions. Of course they're going to be finding people. If they'd be just interested in colonisation, Enterprise would look a lot different.

Sorry, but the full quote is:

"Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before!"

Their mission was literally to go where others already are, just no humans. Your take is a prime example of Fake News, by taking a part of a quote out of context.

Plain and simple: No.
And to be specific, no one from earth and later from the UFP.
