I think the industry is just so volatile and fickle, so you get what you get. Nobody know what's getting picked up season to season, so producers juggle the fine line of having somewhere to go if they get picked up, but also being ready to wrap up quickly in case they don't.
And for the most part they find out after a season ends that they're picked up again or cancelled. It's a tough game. They want to go out on their terms with a proper ending but don't know when that'll be.
