star trek - Spacetime time dilation during warp travel instead of the ship?

According to answers I've seen on here, starships in Star Trek do not experience time dilation at warp speeds due to the ship being surrounded by a static warp bubble and isn't moving. Rather, spacetime around the warp bubble is moving instead.



If spacetime is moving and not the ship, doesn't that mean spacetime itself (and the planets within spacetime such as earth) would experience time dilation instead? In other words, the ship's time would be "normal" while the spacetime around it slows down.
