Or, considering he wrote such a lot, maybe it was lack of time: "What do you want, a rewrite and stage directions on this one, or the next play?" (Like, to bring this back to B7, Terry Nation's "Do you want a rewrite or the next episode?")
Wasn't he also the director and owner of the theatre he worked in?

After a certain point in his life he was a major shareholder in "The Lord Chamberlain's Men" ("The King's Men" after the accesion of the Scots King James VI in 1603) and both the Rose and Globe theatres, yes.
He was a big, big fish in one of the most exciting literary ponds ever. To stretch a metaphor to death.
