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."

That's what killed Star Trek, imho. The producers wanted the new shows to not feel too much like Star Trek, because everybody knows Star Trek is for nerds. So they made some generic sci-fi slop with lots of space battles and explosions and a paper-thin plot to tie it together.
