Why pretend this show is based on a book of the same name?

Why do these production companies do this?? They buy the rights to a wonderfully written, subtle, cerebral, quirky, humorous book, and then proceed to write and produce a show that has NOTHING to do with it except that it takes place in a "space lighthouse"? Seriously???
I'm not saying that every show or movie should be a verbatim copy of the written version, but vaguely CLOSE might be nice. And if you're going to depart from the book so completely, and so immediately, then at least make it unique! Or coherent! Or with stunning visuals! Or fascinating dialog!
This felt like bad low budget stuff from the 80s. Good grief! I couldn't even go for the 2nd episode, I was so disappointed. 😕😔
