It's my understanding that The Mandalorian managed to evade the Disney Eye of Sauron for the first two seasons as it was a relatively low budget passion project, which allowed for a lot more creative control over the story and production (hence why it was actually good). Unfortunately it became too successful for its own good and attracted the attention of 'interested parties' from the rest of Disney's Star Wars slop, hence why season 3 saw a marked drop in quality.
