If they didn't have a holodeck or transporter, they'll have to invent some other unreliable piece of equipment that frequently has weird malfunctions; a lot of the episodes have stories that rely heavily on holodeck and transporter problems!

And anatomically-compatible aliens. Don't forget about the anatomically-compatible aliens.

The holograms are more intelligent than you give them credit for!
Those sneaky holographic people use chemicals and subtle environmental effects to make sure everybody loves the Holodeck and would never think of taking it apart.
Heck, Voyager had the Holographic doctor. Just imagine what he could be doing!
