Between us sci-fi fans, do you ever wonder why sci-fi franchises don't have similar technologies with each other?
Like for examples:
In the Star Trek universe, robots and androids are very rare compare to mass-produced droids in the Star Wars universe.
Unlike both Star Wars and Star Trek spaceships, Stargate spaceships has intergalactic capability (able to travel between galaxies). Most Star Trek spaceships can't travel one side of the galaxy to the next at ease.
And finally in Star Trek, they have solid-light hologram which holograms are touchable and have mass as real thing.
Understandable that not every sci-fi franchises are the same or else they become too 'copied,' but when it comes to fictionalized science, how is it people can't develop technology similar to those from a different franchise universe?

Well I see it this way, Star Wars it's pure fantasy rather than science fiction, and also I think another way to describe it is an epic greek space drama with magic but in space and aliens. Star Trek and other similar shows definitely are more towards science fiction, but still more real life logic.
That might explain why Sith Lords dress like Medieval-Based fantasy villain like from Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons, and World of Warcraft, etc. Those huge black armored clothing with spikes are somewhat cliche. No offense, they're cool. 
That brings to me to another discussion. I love Star Trek even more that Star Wars, I find Star Trek more relatable to Real-Life, in fact, it take place in our Milky Galaxy. It sort of give out of happy vibe where Humans in the future on planet Earth is more 'socially-evolved,' people learned to become peaceful, moral, and tolerant, and no more greed, poverty, and illnesses and suffering on Earth. Well, at least most people on other places, and there are still war in the galaxy when it comes to hostile alien groups.
As you know, life in Star Wars Galaxy is opposite of perfect, including the neverending struggle between the Light Side and Dark Side of the Force.
I think Star Trek act as a reminder to fans to learn from their Human past mistakes in history and put aside their differences and pride for the better.
During the Cold War on Earth, super-powerful nations: US and the Soviet Union, were manipulating the politics other underdeveloped countries, creating puppet governments to be sympathetic to either side; now and back then, the results are bad. In Star Trek, there is 'the' United Federation of Planets' code "The Prime Directive." One of main UFP's policy is not to interfere the affairs of underdeveloped or primitive cultures on other planets; preserve to let their cultures independently flourish.
I guess the author, Gene Roddenberry, based his work from the Cold War and his ideas what people consider 'liberal'.

But that still doesn't explain why some spaceships can fly faster than others between franchises. I mean, shouldn't the physics between franchise be the same? Because it's physics?

Eh, different creators have different have different ideas for what they want in their world in terms of physics, or I think most don't even know care about that sort of thing, they care most about story.
True.
It's just for me, my mind is set on one each time I watch one show and hop on to the next.
