The thing is, with the budget they had, they could have done it well,
and it would have been even more successful, making enough money to
finance filming the rest of Asimov's work, even his essay collections.

While The Morning Show was lauded for its serious
star power, Foundation was viewed as a far more
challenging project in purely creative terms. The
Isaac Asimov novels on which the eponymous series
was to be based have such a massive scope that
many had tried -and failed -to successfully
adapt them to the screen. Even HBO couldn't crack
that particular nut, and an attempt at a
Foundation series on that network never made it
past the initial concept stages.
The Apple TV+ series' Executive Producer, David
S. Goyer, solved this problem by taking quite a
few liberties in interpreting the Foundation
novels, to the point where the result is only
loosely based on Asimov's work. To put it
another way, this all takes place in the
Foundation universe, features some of the same
characters and overarching plot points, but
otherwise tells a fundamentally different
narrative.
The move has alienated some fans of Asimov's
original trilogy, but as long as you're willing
to set that aside and see Foundation as a new
story, perhaps something more akin to fan fiction,
it's an enjoyable show that's both sophisticated
and well put together.

were you really expecting anything else?
Be thankful that it wasn't Starship Stormtroopers. Or, worse, that anime Lensman atrocity. https://manga.fandom.com/wiki/Lensman_(anime) says, and I quote:
"Despite sharing character and organization names, as well as central themes common to the books, heavy artistic license was taken resulting in a final product altogether very different from the source material."
No kidding. The 'creative' team behind that Bokonian-influenced abortion
was badly in need of some up close and personal attitude. correction from a Valerian space-axe.

That's how Hollywerid works. "Based on" / "adapatations" rarely
stick to the original
