I get where you're coming from and yeah, that feeling does suck. It also sucks to have one's OTP shot down in a way that has plenty of unfortunate homophobic implications.

I think a lot depends on the type of media. Is it a low budget movie or a TV show intended for the home audience of the country that it's being produced in? Or is it a big budget tentpole movie intended for wide distribution? Disney found out the hard way that mainstream movie audiences are not as ready as they thought for gay content. They lost a lot of money on Lightyear and Strange World in no small part because they included gay relationships in an important role in both stories.

I am wildly skeptical of the suggestion that gay relationships were a major reason those movies didn't do well

They weren't the only reason those movies didn't do well, but they were part of it.

Yep. It's sad that producers very genuinely have to consider how much money they might lose by portraying a same-sex relationship in their work, but it's just a fact.
