They kinda just need to sell their manga, don't they? If anime is "just popular" and rises manga sells, it's enough, like with Blend S or Yuyushiki.

Blends S manga stopped airing in ~2020 and there is absolutely no reason to make second season. I afraid if gochiusa will stop publishing, then anime won't get new seasons. I thought so. But Kin-iro Mosaic looks out of this logic. It's not so popular but have 2 seasons and 2 films... why

    I guess there is indeed an incentive to have the anime not cover the whole story so you have to buy the manga. I thought anime is the biggest driver behind merch sales though, maybe I'm wrong about that. The logic is not always clear indeed. Hidamari Sketch never seemed very popular or well remembered by the general public (only real fans) but it has four whole seasons and many OVAs.

    ah Hidamari Sketch by Shaft. That's a bit different story as I remember - Shaft adapt their anime like Monogatari at their own will. For them, Hidamari Sketch might be very popular so they adapted so many chapters. I will check details about it tomorrow.
