Yeah, it sucks, man, and it makes my job infinitely more difficult.
In 2011, I began composing and producing music for film and TV. Since then, I've had several national commercials, tons of network promos, scored a film for Paramount and placed music in thousands of episodes of network and cable TV.
While I am very, very fortunate for the work, I still have no idea why the "Decision Makers" make the decisions they make. I can't tell you how many times I've been been paid to create music for a commercial or specific work, only for my work not to be used. It's all good because I'm generally paid upfront for the work. Then, I'll hear the commercial/promo/theme song/whatever and think "That's what they wanted? That's completely different from the work order!".
I'm not very good at mind reading although I'm trying to learn.
Anyway, short story long, it's nearly impossible to know unless you happen to be in the room.
