The TNG-era would later establish that caste-based discrimination makes a planet ineligible for Federation membership. Some things definitely changed over the years, and episodes like this one make sense seen in that light.

* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: After Plasus furiously threatens to tell Starfleet that Kirk kidnapped him, a head of state, and Kirk in turn threatens to tell them Plasus assaulted him, Vanna counters that it would be better for all if both charges are dropped and never reported--as if they "never even happened." Kirk and Plasus agree, if in amusement and sullen silence, respectively.
* LockedInAFreezer: Kirk invokes the trope by using his phaser to cause an avalanche, sealing him and Vanna underground, then ordering Plasus beamed in with them.

Later, when Kirk seals them both underground, Vanna tells him they'll die without air. He asks her how can they die from lack of something that can't see or touch.

-->"This troubled planet is a place of the most violent contrasts. Those who receive the rewards are totally separated from those who shoulder the burdens. It is not a wise leadership. Here on Stratos, everything is incomparably beautiful and pleasant. The High Advisor's charming daughter Droxine, particularly so. The name Droxine seems appropriate for her. I wonder, can she retain such purity and sweetness of mind and be aware of the life of the people on the surface of the planet? There, the harsh life in the mines is instilling the people with a bitter hatred. The young girl who led the attack against us when we beamed down was filled with the violence of desperation. If the lovely Droxine knew of the young miner's misery, I wonder how the knowledge would affect her."

* TooGoodForExploiters: Plasus and the rest of the elite people of Stratos fall victim to this. Kirk and the senior crew of the Enterprise have come up with a way, a filter mask, to protect the Troglytes, who mine zenite, from the gas that comes from the same rocks in the mines on the planet's surface. Plasus soundly rejects the idea because he doesn't believe them nor know about it, and even if he did, it would mean admitting that the Troglytes are being exploited based on an easily-correctable flaw.
