He liked writing and had brilliant ideas. However I think he prefers sci-fi over fantasy. Between age, difficulty, money, and just not his preferred genre he’s just not in a hurry. He’s probably squirreled away enough for a post mortem conclusion to the series that another author can come in a cobble into a book on the same level.

He and his estate have specifically said that no one else will continue his story after he is dead. If he made a trust to handle the copyright it can last 70 years after his death enforcing that. No one reading this will likely ever get a written conclusion to the books.
