World building and story telling are what get the fans invested.
Fans love seeing the lore expanded and the story continued.
They don't like it when it's changed or retconned.
They hate it when it's done arbitrarily (subvert expectations!) or for political reasons.
Hence the demise of Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Dr. Who, Wheel of Time, The Witcher, the MCU, and numerous others.
It's not that hard to understand.
