Some of the Star Treks made more of an effort about. Voyager had a few extras who were around pretty much the entire series. Understandably, of course. I remember one guy even had his own wiki entry.
Ultimately as others have pointed out it's often a matter of logistics. Someone won't necessarily be available to do extra work for 6+ months of the year, for seven years. Certainly they wouldn't want to be paid the same for that entire time either.

Voyager is a good example for this as it was one isolated ship in a far away place without any crew transfers.
I still think that there were a lot of new people brought into it for extra roles instead of relying on a small pool of people.
I actually should have brought that up in my original post.
