The problem, which is shared across both franchises *and* the Teen Titans is the publisher knowing there's a strong fandom for it but getting a little too handsy yet risk adverse chasing it during times when things are looking a little slack.

But the thing that killed LSH was the fatal combo of 5YL (both mystery box and grimdark aspects) and COIE. Though the first reboot made a very strong showing for a pretty long time.

With X-Men, it was less "slack" than "Mervel realized what a huge hit they had on their hands and forbade Claremont from jiggling it too much in case it got broken and also 'hey, give us more of this.'"
