Absolutely, and that's the problem. Studios optimize for low-risk because art is just an investment vehicle for them, which is directly at-odds with what art actually should be: creative expression.
Yeah, being a for profit business guarantees they won't be about creative expression that doesn't have a monetary incentive in the short term or long term.
Even the examples of a studio financing a movie because someone in power wants it to exist despite knowing it won't make bank have an underlying expectation that other projects the director will work on (or has in the past) generate more revenue than is lost on that project.
