From a note on the Ufotable Wikipedia page:

Although the Japanese animation industry was in the midst of an animation bubble at the time, the fees offered to studios by clients such as TV stations, movie studios, and publishers had risen somewhat, but remained low. Therefore, every production would always end up in the red, and Ufotable also had to make up for this with profits from its side business. Many studios without intellectual property rights could make money from merchandise if they had a hit, but if they did not, they could not pay their staff or went bankrupt.[56][57]

As for Netflix, which was seen as the savior of Japanese anime, if Netflix fully invested in the studios, they could receive double or triple the fees, but in return, the studios had to hand over the intellectual property rights to Netflix and could no longer sell merchandise or video software for their works.[58]

There seem to be a lot of Japanese sources about this, but not nearly as much in English.

i wonder why.

Does mean there’s an open market for someone who can read those sources and write a thesis or something on this.

don’t let someone take the opportunity from you now that you’ve figured it out.

This is reminding me that I should do Duolingo.
