The market is bad and teams are struggling to find investors for the mid to low tier teams.
A little more certainty that you will have a chance to stay in the top tier might help with investment (although the counter to that is less investment in the second league because lower chance of moving up).

Its a huge difference between the two and for a league like France that wants to grow, or Italy which wants to reclaim past glory I think it makes a lot of sense
the Championship is arguably the 5th biggest league in Europe, plus with the 3 years of parachute payments that come with it. Getting relegated isn't a death knell to finances at all.
