Greenlit with "two seasons" then cancelled after "two seasons"

OK, so Starfleet Academy is the first time I see this this happen with a live action show, but it happens a lot with animated shows, it gets greenlit for "two" before it even starts and then gets cancelled before the "second" season even starts.

Now... Is it even fair to say these types of shows even got a second season? I mean, officially yeah and maybe in a bean counter way they did but... If all the episodes were ordered from the start, was there ever really a "second" season? Because to me, it just seems like one long one with a brief hiatus.
