Gravity Falls was pitched at the perfect time is how. Alex Hirsch was part of the "younger generation" whose voices Disney was prioritizing for new ideas. Usually takes way longer than just 2 years working professionally before you're approached directly to pitch something to a major network.

Things work very differently now, to the point where even HE as a veteran can't get anything new past development. The guy's not "hot new talent" anymore, so if he still hasn't learned better time management skills since GF ended, he's done for.
