Because nothing changes in a thousand years, right?

They’re a genetically created species that are cloned and do not procreate. There were no female in the species.
This is sci-fi. It's not even hard to write a workaround for that...

Fair point.
But it would mean that the changelings would have a complete change of heart about what basically is a slave race that they look to only as cannon fodder for their war.
So we believe that they had a complete change of heart, and now they began to genetically create female Jem’ Hadar, and left them to live their lives in peace and tranquility. Creating family units, etc.
So rather than an average lifespan of 6 to 12 years because of the war, as they fight constantly, and rather than coming out of the containment as a fully matured being, now they’ve been radically redesigned to be born as children and raised by loving, nurturing parents, no longer intent on doing the bidding of their masters and killing everybody else.
I guess 800 years is enough time to put that in place, but I’m not counting on it being any good.

But why even go through the effort of making up a scenario for having a female Jem' Hadar? The answer is simply "fan service with a twist," which pretty much sums up all of Nu-Trek.
"Fan service with a twist" may be your interpretation, while others might say it's "they complain when we do something familiar, they complain when we do something new, let's try something in between."
Let's face it, we fans are fickle, and we each are quick to judge if the new material doesn't fit what we think it should be.
If you can do it better, please do so. We'll be watching you in armchairs from the sidelines as do all fans who have nothing to lose.
I, for one, would love to hear what you whiners and moaners would like to see from Star Trek rather than scroll through page after page of hate for what's there.

When have they done anything new? Everything we've seen since Enterprise is nothing more than a retconned, canon breaking regurgitation of classic Trek, done poorly. Even Picard S3, which many folks seem to like was just a TNG greatest hits. The makers of these shows are incapable of creating anything on their own.

They don’t even put any thought into the props they make for the shows anymore. Everything in Discovery after the time jump was wrapped up into a communicator badge. Now it’s also a tricorder, and whatever other mcguffin it needs to be.
Picard’s tricorder was a cell phone in an embellished case!
The only show that’s come close to creating props is strange new worlds, but have we gotten one decent beauty shot of any of them yet?
If it wasn’t for the pictures of the factory entertainment replica of the phaser, I’m not even sure I would know what any of the details were on it.

A very different situation. NuTrek does it for winks and laughs, because all of it is written from the pop-culture awareness point of view of what Star Trek is. None of it (PS3 excluded) is written as serious drama (no matter how many buckets of tears the cleaning crew on The Discovery have to mop up).
Indeed. The dire consequences of showing all the experienced writers the door, leaving none left to educate and teach the new crop. We're going to be suffering for decades because of it, unless all of Hollywood does a very quick about-face and lets the skilled writers back in, to pick their brains before they all die or retire.
It was also never made clear in “Conscience of the King” if the “Jazz” version of the Trek theme was soundtrack music or “diegetic” music (meant to be heard by the characters in the scene).
We see no band in the scene.
We see no obvious device for playing music in the scene.
I always took it to be “non-diegetic” music, myself.
Anyway…

I re-watched to refresh my memory. The music has a slightly muffled quality to it and it is clearly sound mixed together with party chatter. It's definitely dietetic, and meant to sound like it's coming from the room behind the curtains.
And don't forget that the DS9 theme is a Bajoran folk song.
All trek displays are tvs and computers in fancy cases. Someone actually invented a cell phone display that folds in half and you expect them not to turn it into a fully interactive tricorder?
You know, that's what everyone said about Enterprise 20 years ago.

Definitely true of the fourth season.
