7 hours (which is usually what an 8 episode season amounts to) is more than enough time to tell a good story. More episodes would just end up padding TV shows with tons of boring, tone deaf filler (see K-Drama) and if the tradeoff is worse visuals then it’s an even bigger problem.
Also, does the long wait actually matter for shows like House of the Dragon? It’s just a TV show, it doesn’t need to take up a huge chunk of my life. I watch it and enjoy it and then I do something else, I don’t need to live in the world for months.
