All 3 of the Apollo 7 crew were banned from future flights because of perceived insubordination, that’s why Cunningham flew just that 1 flight.
Wally Schirra wanted to do more shake down of the Apollo 7 systems, but NASA insisted on taking time for the first live American TV broadcast from space.
According to Jim Lovell, "Apollo 7 was a very successful flight—they did an excellent job—but it was a very contentious flight. They all teed off the ground people quite considerably, and I think that kind of put a stop on future flights [for them]."

It really is a shame how little Americans know about Mercury,Apollo programs. It would have been cool if Grissom didn't die and lived to 90.
