There’s another consideration: it has to be as cheap as possible to produce. And that explains the advent of reality TV.
I have stopped watching regular TV about 6 years ago. We now have internet TV, occasionally I watch something if I want to, but only if I can skip ads.
My SO sometimes watches on commercial channel and leaves the ads unskipped, so I counted: 10 minutes content, 10 minutes ads, that on repeat for hour and a half. I get it, those channels live from advertisements, but does it realy have to be 1/1?

Moving to Canada from the UK when I was a kid was quite jarring because I couldn’t believe how many TV commercials you guys had.
Doesn’t matter to the suits, but it matters to the people who actually create the content.
