Plus it was a syndicated show. By that point they probably felt they had enough episodes to keep making money from syndicating it

They had enough but probably would have liked more. They wanted Kevin Sorbo to sign a contract for three more years of Hercules, but he had committed to the Andromeda series. So, they rushed an eight-episode final season before he became unavailable.

The successful Star Trek series of the time, TNG and DS9, ran for seven seasons in first-run syndication.
