Non meme answer?
Because Del Taco dropped out last minute, they kicked the can over to Jackson and said "you have a couple of months to prepare can you fix this".
LOTR had years of prep work. But rather than letting the project go to someone who might cock it up beyond belief he decides to take a chance on completing the story.
The studio isn't satisfied with making it a two-parter though, they want more money. They want a trilogy. So now he has to find material to put into a story that's really a one-movie story just to make it three movies long. Hell, it's basically not filmable to begin with given that our main protagonist just tags along for the ride for the majority of the book.
When you get down to the point of LOL BARRELS LOL HERO CAM FOOTAGE FOR 2 SECONDS LOL UGLY CGI LOL ACTOR REPLACED BY CGI.. you're already missing the point. The battle for quality was lost long before you got there. In the BTS footage you can see them editing CGI with two days to theatrical release.
Not enough prep time, not enough budget, not enough story, stretched out material, forced integration into the other trilogy, forced character insertions for diversity.. Clusterfuck.
Is thaat?? That's a..
BBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAARRRR
