You wrong about the 1st season.

1. The studio name is SynergySP, not SPenergy

2. SynergySP is the sub company of Shogakukan, publisher of Hayate no Gotoku!

3. That means, SynergySP do the animation depend on Shogakukan demands.

4. At the year of 2nd Season, SynergySP had to do the animation Cross Game.

5. And the year before, they did Zettai Karen Children

6. That's why J.C staff took it, Since anime need to have 2nd Season at that time to prevent the long gap error like the one that happens between SS2 and Movies.

7. SynergySP didn't did SS3 and onward because Shogakukan didn't demand them to do. They had to do other works such as Beyblade: Metal Fury and Chibi Devi!. Both of them are long run anime.

8. And no one took it because the failure of SS2 until Manglobe come.

And, for 2nd Season

1. J.C. staff Also cut most important part from the story. For example, jokes, Ayumu's heroine chapters, and the link to Heroes of the Sea Lifesavers

2. Unlike SynergySP, J.C. staff didn't get supplied with money (Shogakukan give money directly to SynergySP, since Shogakukan hired them to make their manga become the anime). So J.C. staff need to do anime like other studio. Short term anime and get income from the merchandises. That's why anime is a bit short (2 season - 25 EPs).

PS. Don't forget that most income the animation studio and manga publisher get is from "japanese fans", not "international fans". I'm sure that many international fans didn't buy a lot of original japanese merchandises like me.
