Back in the day it was like 1 year ladders, then it was voted down to 6 months.
Then for D2r it was voted down to 3 months because they let all the poe adhd speedrunners vote.
Blizzard then thought it was a good idea to speedrun their ladder seasons like Poe, just without the content you get in Poe.
Mind you Poe seasons can die within a month too, and their seasons can feel like an expansion sometimes. So who would have thought that D2r would not be fit for 3 month seasons

Also:
More banwaves = more sales
