There’s also the catch-22 aspect; if everyone waited for a series to be completed, no series would be completed.

Besides, while naturally I might be somewhat disappointed by never-finished series, it's not a dealbreaker or a crushing blow for me. I get over it and find other books to enjoy. There are more than one series I liked that were cut short by the author's death/illness/writer's block, by the publisher's decision and so on. I don't usually regret reading them.

Yup. If you had your enjoyment at the time of reading, a series owes you nothing, IMO.
Anyway, the best of most series comes early on. Does anyone think that a book six of ASOIAF could provide the heart-stopping excitement of books one through three? Have they forgotten the endless slog of the next two books? With most series my interest runs out before the series does.
