Star Trek is never going to be as successful as a show like The Pitt. Like you could transplant all the writers and production values from the Pitt to trek, but the general audience would tune out the minute they saw the bumpy forehead aliens and pyjama uniforms. Star trek in general does not have mass appeal and never did.

Sure, they could afford her, because Paramount gave them the budget they wanted. But was it viable long-term? Apparently not, considering that Paramount is most likely canceling SFA because the viewership doesn't justify the cost.

Even Star Wars has seemingly stopped all their live action streaming projects as there's seemingly no indication there will be any more Ahsoka or Mandalorian. They're at least continuing animation, which is more than can be said for Trek shows like Prodigy.

"Everyone who says no to me is a fascist" is not a position worthy of engagement.

It just means not enough people have said no to you.

It's being cancelled because the 32nd century has to be decanonized in order for another TV series to be set in the 24th or 25th century.

It's being cancelled because Soong-type Android had no interest in watching it.

It's being cancelled because the Ellisons are related to Harlan Ellison, and they will never forgive Star Trek for rewriting Uncle Harlan's script for "City on the Edge of Forever." (This one's probably not true. But who knows?)

Or maybe we don't have enough information yet to know which one it is, because nobody here works for the Ellisons.

Here's the thing; people want it cancelled. They want it cancelled so badly that why excuse is acceptable as long as the end result is victory.

I'm starting to think this isn't a show being good or bad, but considered a battlefield victory over the evil Kurtzman and his minions for how much desire their is to triumph over Academy being cancelled.
