I’m the same as you, no experience of the industry but from a consumer perspective the wait times are excessive. GoT dropped every ~12 months with the exception of the final season which took far too long again.
But things like Stranger things have enormous gaps and now a show that was always going to have two parts, has the story set out and was a huge hit has an excessive wait time just seems unnecessary to me.
The best seasons of Game of Thrones were adaptations of existing books that took care of 90% of the script and scene structure for planning and were filmed when there were no strikes or pandemics getting in the way.
Stranger Things took off time for both those and to give the writer time to write quality scripts. Not comparable at all.

Quality takes time. If you want content vomited out go watch sitcoms and soap operas.
The best seasons of game of thrones were “vomited” out annually. Fuck off with your feeling superior.

So GoT is the same as TLOU, given they’re adaptions so they’re both the same in terms of the story being there for them.
Stranger Things has half as many Seasons in as much time as GoT so don’t give that excuse.
