Having grown up with hearing this trope from my dad (also a big Trekkie), and only going back to TOS in my 20's, I don't even know how it got so exaggerated. There wasn't nearly as many red shirt deaths as I expected. I even watched it on Spike, when they had trivia and a literal red shirt death counter overlay.

I reckon local stations just picked the 20 or so episodes with the most action and violence and just replayed them over and over for 30 years
