You're downplaying the fact that it costs a lot of money to build a new production, as opposed to building one you can snowball for a while. Voice actors is one, tiny, small example of what it takes to build up a new television series from the ground up.
There are toys, licensing deals, everything.

Experiments get trashed. We can call it whatever. The point is it seems like a rather expensive experiment, so I'm inclined to believe they had hopes of this show lasting around 5 seasons. There's also the consideration that experimenting isn't harmless and can quickly taint a brand name, so there is risk involved.

When you put it like that, maybe. I don't know though. Still hard for me to shake the feeling that they wanted the show to last longer.
