I guess I need to do better.
You just did do better!

In a 2022 Variety article, Martin claimed that he was kept "out of the loop" during the last four seasons of Game of Thrones.

I can obviously never prove it, but I believe Martin was hoping that the TV series breathing down the neck of his ending would help provide him with some much needed incentive to finish before the TV series. But if the possibility that someone else might get to present the climax of your magnum opus to the world can't get you to knuckle down and finish, then clearly nothing is going to do so.

Probably they had a schedule to keep and some other aspects. I can believe they wanted him out of the loop.

Read Ursula Le Guin about the Earthsea movie.

Authors having any control over TV/Movie or even the book cover is rare!

They usually only have much control if they are also show runners. Daniel James Abraham and Ty Corey Franck come to mind. I guess Brandon Sanderson will also try to maintain a lot of control over his adaptions.
