 * It was episodes 1-14, not 13
 * It was volumes 1, 2 half of 8 and a highly changed and shrunk version of a story from Progressive. And even that half of 8 was shrunk and changed to fit the content into two episodes.
 * Just the first sub-arc of Alicization is already six volumes. That's more than twice the size of the Aincrad arc and that one needed 14 episodes (minus three episodes for rushed side stories from volume 8 and Progressive). Squishing the entire arc into one season would be a bad idea.
