I honestly don't understand what you mean about this not getting a full-season. It had 13 episodes, just like AHS does. And AHS has NEVER had such a **** ending like this. It was always going to be this long. I stand by the idea that he chose this ending because the show was cancelled, not the other way around.

13 episodes is only a full season for a cable show or a Netflix show. Traditional network television shows (such as ones on FOX like this one) get 22-24 episodes. When a show is picked up it typically gets a guaranteed 13 episodes and then if it does well enough it gets the back 9 episodes ordered to make it a full season.
I mean the amount of episodes a tv show gets is changing as television changes, but Scream Queens was promoted heavily in a way that presented it as a tentpole of the FOX fall lineup, so I'm sure the possibility of more episodes for season 1 was a very real thing until the ratings came in.
