Yeah, Doctor Who is an outlier here because science fiction isn't cheap to make - they don't want to look bad when compared to stuff like Star Wars and Marvel, which are both Disney properties, do they?
Saying Disney don't fund it is incorrect. Pay attention to the endcap. It says it's a Bad Wolf and BBC Studios production for BBC and Disney. Disney's logo is stamped on the show!
