At the same time, it was also good enough that it made Paramount want to pop out more shows.
SNW couldn't exist without DSC giving us a taste of Anson Mount as Captain Pike, for example.
If people had left it, chances are, they'd have left it buried for a few more years.
Honestly, I don't think it was that, as much as its production was just a mess. Showrunners and writers were consistently fired partway into the season for at least the first two, and it shows, because the plot would just suddenly fly off in another direction mid-season, which doesn't exactly work well for a serialised show.
Past that, it basically turned into an experimental testbed for show ideas, and never really seemed to find its own identity before it ended (though it came close in its last season).
