The showrunners were convinced that they could reboot that show, and continue with Season 9 without major characters. Look what happened to that, ABC cancelled it in the eleventh hour. Yeah, I think OUAT could be this year's Castle and Nashville - a long-running bubble veteran show that they let go without proper warning. Castle switched in an "alternate happy ending" instead of a planned main character death, I believe. I didn't watch that show but I do watch Nashville and was shocked that they went forward with a cliffhanger even after news of their cancellation. (Thank god it got picked up by another network a month later or that would've been tragic)

In any other year, I do think OUAT would be justifiably canceled, but even their current sinking ratings put them in the top half of the drama department so idk. How much faith do they have in their developing pilots at the moment?
