I don't mind it as much for tight story forward shows, not that more episodes wouldn't be bad in some cases, but usually 10 episodes is the right amount to tell a story.
Shows they are more monster of the week, or plot of the week, like King of the Hill or Star Trek, they would benefit by having more episodes.
Shows that are telling a season long story, like Severance or Only Murders in the Building, they work better with a 10 episode run.
And I appreciate shows that don't stretch to fit the 10 episode run. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was perfect at 6 episodes. I just watched The Miniature Wife and by episode 6 I was disappointed to find out it had been stretched to 10 episodes. They probably should have done it in 6 or 8.
