The circumstances were very different then as well.
Shows from Streamers like Netflix, Prime etc didnt really exist.
The strike was also right in the middle of the main US TV season, this one is not.

Will Shows Be Cancelled Due to the Strike?

That is very possible and we saw several genre entries get sent to the Network Executioner during the 2007-08 strike. Both Journeyman and the Bionic Woman reboot were cancelled after one season, and while neither pulled in great ratings, it’s not impossible that NBC would have given them more of a chance if the strike had not halted production. The first season of ABC’s Pushing Daisies was cut short and that led to a long hiatus before the second season started which may have killed the momentum from its promising start in the ratings (it was cancelled after a big drop in viewership in its second year). USA Network also cancelled both The 4400 and Dead Zone at that time and the strike has been cited as a strong influence on their decision.

If the current strike lasts longer than a few weeks, that will definitely start to make network and studio execs nervous. It will lead to a new round of production delays after things were only just starting to get back on track following the extended shutdowns caused by COVID. Once the strike is settled, there will be a rush back to production with top-performing and high-profile shows likely getting priority. And shows that may not have been strong performers could find themselves on the chopping block in order to free up time and resources. For example, Netflix would likely prioritize top-performer Wednesday over Cabinet of Curiosities (which pulled in moderate viewership) and possibly just cancel the latter show altogether because timelines will be tight following the production delays. (Though that is just hypothetical, I have no idea if those actually share the same studios and resources.)
