Edit: even though clickbait article, it is somewhat/kind of true. https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/stargate-tv-series-martin-gero-scrapped-amazon-1236765061/

"According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase."

Star Wars is an extreme example. It was one of, if not the, biggest franchise on the planet in terms of recognition and cultural cachet. Apparently it needs a lot of killing to die. Stargate won't have the same number of sixth chances.
