They go by peoples perceived attention spans. On average most people don’t get invested more than 2-3 seasons per show and they keep needing to make more money each year so this is a more efficient strategy.
To be fair, I'm on the fence about this reason. I really don't like for a good show to get ruined after a long run. I hate for a good show to end, but I like it to end while I enjoy it. I'm usually okay with a series only running a few seasons. However, if the quality stays up, yes, please make more!
It's fine to only have a few seasons, but tell the writers that in advance so they can complete the series.
Also, cancelling after one season is shitty.
