Does the amount of episodes they have left to dump somehow change the fact that the show has been canceled? Yes, they have 25 episodes left to dump on their failed streaming service. Roughly the equivalent of one season of TNG. Netflix did the same thing with Witcher; they gave them a pity season to wrap things up and then canceled the show.
Strange New Worlds got canceled with FEWER episodes than just TWO seasons of TNG. Fewer episodes than DISCOVERY, fewer episodes than LEZZIE DYKES, fewer episodes than ENTERPRISE, and fewer episodes than TOS, the show SNW is trying to rip off. It got canceled with the same amount of episodes as PRODIGY, NuTrek's biggest failure.

Creatives often don't understand the appeal of their own work. And making a follow-up series when your attitude towards the original is embarrassment instead of pride is a recipe for a disaster. And it happens all the time too. Look at how many times Lucas edited the original trilogy, often with changes that are objectively detrimental. Creatives become obsessed with the idea of fixing their original work, often not understanding that the perceived "flaws" were actually strengths.

The end result is four Evangelion films that most people haven't watched, and those who watched them were either indifferent, or hated them entirely. It's ironic in a way: in spite of the final movie's message, it's Anno who spent two decades remaking Evangelion for an audience who moved on a long time ago.
