It's not unfinished bit that's bothering me, it's degraded quality over time. I quit on GRRM before his last book, Robert Jordan after the fourth, and Sanderson somewhere in the first quarter of his first book that I picked. Prachett doesn't fit into this category, his novels are just set into the same world, he doesn't bother making it all coherent and grand. He'll go from straight comedy to a parody of his favourite movies at will, and his books just work. JK Rowling's Potter series is another example of the former. Last two books are lost with her trying to fit all the random characters of the previous into a coherent ending, and the magic was gone.
I guess the point, as it was discussed before, is that some novels just work, simply because they were written as a full work. When author spends decades writing about the same work, his outlook changes, his plots get diverged, and the quality subsequently plummets.
