That's almost completely a relic nowadays though. Most things worth watching are on streaming, which has pretty much completely abandoned the 22 episode format and 6-10 seems to be where things have settled.

It's bizarre. Sometimes I pop into a streaming service and see a show from 5-10 years ago, originally syndicated from a TV channel, and it's not bad, but it's just... An OK idea drawn out until it's boring.
OTOH we have these MCU shows now, barely (if at all) longer than a movie, but chopped into 6x20min episodes that give it a bumpy pacing and flow, and over before anything happens.
