It makes perfect sense. They want to show the growth in the characters. The charcters will have grown and changed more by the end of seson 2 with the timeskip (5.5 years from the end of season 1) than if sesaon 2 was just the six months following season 1 (0.5 years). You wouldn't have seen Robin grow into a leader and become Nightwing, Wally decide to leave the hero life, most of the new characters debut, etc in that alternate season 2. Even if they increased it to a year per season, YJ would need seven seasons to reach where we are now. Does anyone really believe we're going to get seven seasons?
