Very true -- I was thinking of that too. With a romance-focused story that has a set ending you basically have one key requirement: to develop over the course of the show to get finality to the romance. As long as this key plot point gets developed, many other elements could potentially be sacrificed. With sci-fi/fantasy/action, a lot of the appeal to the audience is in all those little details. (We see how much grief one currently-airing sci-fi/fantasy show gets when an episode is deemed to be at all truncated from the original source and even the slightest explanation is skipped... )

Well, sure, but the key point is that they will have planned the resources based on the budget assigned, and they're not going to cannibalize other shows in production that are paid for from a separate budget, because yeah: as Chaos2Frozen alluded to, that's not exactly good business practice.
