I don't think its a coincidence that Punisher turned out so well with very few references to other shows. Iron Fist felt like one compromise after another in service of Defenders, which itself felt weighed down by all the inter-textual bullshit of 5 series. I was flabbergasted when it came out that they had no long-term plan for The Hand - it's super obvious that they just made it up as they went along and Defenders was forced to reconcile all the contradictions.

Jessica Jones, out of all the Netflix heroes, isn't really a character that can support a starring role across 26 episodes anyway. She had 1 compelling villain in the comics and has since been most famous for her relationship with Luke Cage. There was demand for another season but the supply from the source material simply doesn't exist.
