Markets changing demand adjustment. Of course, you could spend money hand over fist to relive the glory days but you'll probably go bankrupt or into austerity measures.

Oh, wait, CBS is there. Strange.
What you're failing to take into consideration is that despite a 25 episode season of Berman Trek where at least 15 eps were just filler, it was a 9-month long season with a 3-month break. Which means that whatever you personally may have thought about those filler eps, they kept the audience involved with the show for 3/4 of the year, and hungry for more during that 1/4 year hiatus.
Now, one season is 10 episodes shown in the span of 2 months, with a 10 month hiatus. That does not keep the audience involved. The reason why the average run of a streaming series is 3 years is because these ridiculously long gaps between seasons cause the audience to lose interest, or even forget the show is even still being produced. And sometimes even the producers of the show have no idea what's going on with their show in that regard, which is why shows have storylines that have nothing to do with other seasons, like The Man in the High Castle and Star Trek Picard. When CBSAA/P+ were producing five Trek shows at a time, this wasn't a problem, because we only had 1-2 months between productions, so even if you were a DSC fan but not a LDS fan, there was still Trek content that you could access if you chose to. Now, once SNW S3 drops, we won't see S4/5 until this same time next year (and I have a sneaking suspicion that they will be starting production on S5 not long after S4 is finished production in an effort to show 16 episodes in one sitting in July 2026 so they can end the show then.)
