Sometimes it's higher up people interfering with what they feel needs to be included, other times it's poor writers that fail upward but somehow manage to convince the higher ups that it's what people want to see.
Ultimately the only thing the upper crust in these companies care about is making money, but they have very little involvement in the process until things seriously start to go wrong. Netflix are in the process of throwing crap at the wall and hoping something will stick, but it all boils down to incompetent people gaining positions that they shore up with similarly minded people at the more mid to upper-mid level.
It's little wonder there's so much concern over AI from a lot of the supposed creative types, it's as much about it doing a better job as it is "stealing" content.
As for Atlas, yeah J-Lo is awful and even the premise of this isn't a draw. If I want to enjoy some pretty CGI I can watch the trailer and be done with it.
