Yellowstone exists because somebody saw Game of Thrones printing money and decided to make it about cowboys and without any likable characters. They were like “people like watching rich people be shitty to each other, right?”
It's really odd (but not so odd if you really think about it) that you got the liberal/urban leftist version in Succession versus the red-state version in Yellowstone. The way they both tackle similar ideas, scenes, and stories are completely split along taste downstream from their politics. They both also both undermine their own thesis in ways that are equally split.
Nah it's because Taylor Sheridan (the showrunner for Yellowstone and the rest of the chud cinematic universe) was a writer on Sicario (and a few other less high profile movies) and was able to build a career from there.
I'd argue it's just appealing to the chud demographic, and as can be seen by cop shows generally having the best ratings on TV, there are a lot of fucking chuds.
I'd say it's moreso the demographics of who is still watching broadcast tv. Mostly old people who are unable or unwilling to change over to streaming and piracy like the rest of us did 15 years ago
