It was more than Number One's power that the "network dodo" objected to,
though that was part of it.  The network also felt that audiences would
not like a female who was so cold and unemotional.  Therefore these
personality traits were also given to Spock.  If you watch Spock in
the "Cage" portions of "Managerie" you will notice that he does display
emotions.
