Why are Spartan 4s so weak?

Spartan-IVs are considered "weaker" than Spartan-IIs and IIIs primarily because their adult augmentations are less physically intense, focusing on compatibility and survivability rather than the extreme biological enhancements of the earlier generations. While they receive advanced bio-mods and rely heavily on next-gen Mjolnir armor to compensate, their raw physical strength, bone density, and reaction times don't match the genetically-engineered, childhood-augmented IIs and IIIs, making them physically less powerful but more versatile soldiers.

Why did Halo get canceled?

Paramount+ canceled the Halo series primarily due to its extremely high production costs, even though it had decent viewership, combined with a divided fan reaction over its departure from game lore and perceived quality issues, making it a costly bet that didn't fully pay off despite Season 2's improvements and recent Netflix pickup. The show was expensive to make, with budgets potentially reaching $200 million for Season 1, and Paramount+ needed more than just solid numbers to justify continuing such a massive investment, especially with other big-budget series also facing cuts.
