Why is this becoming more common? Did anime investors find out that they get more money for splitting up seasons like this or something?

Possibly related to working conditions reform in recent years, which unfortunately new PM Mrs. "discard work-life balance" Takaichi is trying to dial back. It might be also harder to get enough manpower together now that more shows are made each season.

Spreading production out in time probably let them get more done in house and get a more consistent and higher quality output too.
