I think it was completely Netflix's call. It's really hard to say since we don't know the numbers and only have rumors. I know Iron Fist season one was rumored to have the highest viewership so it's likely with that being receive poorly kill enthusiasm for casual viewers only keeping Marvel fans on. But also they could all still be making a profit, but just not enough of a profit. If they could invest in a show that's cheaper to make and get the same number of viewers they get more money.
Doubt that's it, Disney would get directly involved with this, it's purely a Netflix/Marvel Television. Way down on the totem pole as it were. Disney may be many things but they have yet to really micro manage Marvel in any significant way. Beside, Netflix were the ones funding it.
Netflix orders the season provides the funds for the budget, Marvel Television makes it (creative direction, contracts for production companies, etc), then Netflix distributes it and takes most the profits, some of which is paid to Marvel as licensing fees. As zenith16 pointed out they benefit more with Millar World, which would cut out the middle man and give Netflix more control.
In fact the more I think about it the more I feel the partnership with Millar World is the cause. If it wasn't MW it would have been something else and this just an inevitable outcome.
I could also see it be a situation where Netflix offered to order more shows but with less budget per episode and Marvel turned them down.
well there are other factor's as well. one of my fave sci fi writers who has worked for marvel , he's mostly known for his shows of babylon 5 Jeremya and is a well know creator of characters like He -man& she-ra he had a show called Sense 8
here's the thing JMS show are known for being very well written shows that complement the actors and when it's sci -fi man this guy Excelles with the small budget he gets and knows how to do it on the cheap and make look movie qulity or to rival it . his show of Babylon competed with Generoddnebrry's star trek DS9 after all.

If you've followed my work, from animation to comics to TV (Sense8, Babylon 5), movies (Changeling, Thor), this may inform; if you want an inside perspective on how to survive horrific circumstances in pursuit of a career as a writer, this may help:
But the point i'm getting is sense 8 the money budget was handle by net flix and they screwed up that series by having be too expensive. not him. since then net flix has been weird about Expence these day's . they should have ask to help make cheaper but no they kept it to them selves and they weirdly tried to cancle the show with out a dangler BTW
. Since then the people that run net flix have been weird of late and want every thing they are still Expand studio's in place like Where I'm at montreal for the timing being. but that's what been happening.
and Even bigger factor add to the factor of money is as was put up this week by EPn.tv with victor Lucas. as mentioned by vic him self in the video below i that price hikes have become a factor

As stated elsewhere, Disney+ will not feature R/TV-MA content. Therefore Daredevil and the other Defenders shows will not be on Disney+. If they are to keep them going on any streaming service, Hulu would be more likely as they would own a majority stake in it once the FOX deal completes.
Another possible option would be FX if they opt to put the shows on a network as opposed to just streaming.
so I had to look back at what Bob igor said when the fox acquisition happened and when he said that they interesting marvel doing other genre's via what fox sorta start with new mutants movie and were looking into Harror for the MCU movies .
can't see why it can't apply here with tv too.all they have do is add parent control's for those parent that don't their kid that don't want them to watch more mature content.
But I'm betting on Hulu, regardless.
And there was that thing with the winter soldier , and I'm sorry we did see death with Coulson in the first avenger movie which was a graphic death not to mention on agents of shield where he killed his former supposed friend turned hydra agent by incinerating him.
last there's that anime I mentioned called
which rival's the gritty people liked and the Rated Language too. Which aired on Disney XD after hour's some year's back . so people can't say Disney made every thing Family friendly as an excuse to hate on things they even bought Episodes of Naruto and that show as pretty violent but they aired them .
