What I wonder is why these directors listened. Like, they can make their own decisions, and there are other producers out there.

I assume that they didn't know at the time that it was part of a harassment campaign.

This. Directors were simply given "forewarning" that these women were impossible to work with and would set back production with their bullshit if allowed, so it was best not to hire them in the first place if it was avoidable. Sounded like a heads-up, was actually an awful smear campaign from a couple of giant manbabies.

Probably because they were trying to get their ambitious movie made and it makes sense to them to listen to the studio they hope greenlights it when it comes to things like acting choices, etc.,. People forget, Peter Jackson was not Peter Jackson in that period where LOTR was in constant development hell, especially when the project was attached to Miramax.

I'm not sure you quite understand how Hollywood works. Directors listen because producers are powerful people. You don't always have the option of going, "Nah, I don't agree with these extremely powerful producers, guess I'll find another one". Assholes like Weinstein are highly influential in the business and they have no problem throwing their weight around, either. And remember that back then, Peter Jackson wasn't a big name in movies at all.
