May is Renew/Cancel season and ratings are not always the most important factor. Budget plays a part as well. Tim Allen is likley not cheap. His increasing sallary plus the others on the show likely were choking the shows budget and was just no longer viable. My brother has worked at CBS since 1990 and seen many shows get the axe despite ratings were good sometimes just due to actors getting expensive. On Fox Star Trek the Next Generation had 1 more season under contract but the actors cost too much for the shows budget.

It is possible that it is budget oriented as you say, because Tim Allen is a big name and probably pretty expensive. But nobody else on the cast is famous, and the main cast is smaller than Modern Family (9 members versus 12), so I would think that having less main cast members would offset the cost of Tim. Regardless, I really do hope that some other network or Netflix/Amazon/Hulu picks it up, there is so little programming out there that is geared toward conservatives and Last Man Standing was the best of the bunch. Sigh, well at least we still have The Ranch on Netflix. 

Does that show orient to conservatives? I've watched Part 1, but I didn't notice that.
