Disney sort of wants it both ways with some of their shows. It's why the creator of Gravity Falls had to repeatedly insist that the two cops were just really, really, really good friends that shared their lives with each other when making the show, even as Disney later advertised the characters as being LGBTQ friendly.
Meanwhile, with The Owl House the show was dropped mostly by one executive under the pretext of wanting thought-free episodic content. It's weird because the first season has an amazing ramp up from episode to episode, to the point that even some random executive SHOULD be able to sense the building excitement over the show.
