Partially, but it also just becomes harder to be unpredictable when you get so close to the end (probably huge reason why it's taking him so long to finish).

And I'm not sure how actors contracts works for series like these, but I'd imagine they signed them to a set amount of episodes and renegotiating all those actors would be $$$.
Do you know that for a fact? I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere.
Common sense would say actors want to get as much money as they can.
Also I don't know of a situation where actors dictate the terms, the producers and directors do.
I think once people make a certain amount their priorities change. The actors in this show have made enough money to support them and their children for life.
At some point work becomes about something other than money.
Uhh, actors sign contracts bud. Their price only goes up when the show becomes more popular. Actors very much dictate terms when initial contracts are up and they are a key character on a massively popular series.
I'm sure they would all be willing to comeback for the right price price, but that may be too expensive.
And whose to say sticking on GoT is the best thing for them? Maybe being able to have more time will let them diversify their career past "oh that dude on GoT".
And some people have artistic interest also past "oh that dude on GoT".

Tldr: it cost a lot of time and money to make, and it isn't necessarily everyone's top priority to be working on this project for over a decade.

Or thinking about the long term perception of your career. Its probably good to get off the show and start taking other roles so you don't get type casted for the rest of your career.

I can't remember if they signed season to season deals or multiple season deals, some have complained publicly that they were treated like hired help. But it should set up most of these actors for the rest of their careers.
It's public information. The last contracts they signed were for the final 2 seasons. All the main characters are making 2.5 million dollars per episode.
The show really jumped in popularity this season too, so they would probably be able to negotiate even higher if they added an 8th season.
