Nuff said: distinction to be made between "need" and "want".

Look at "Lord of the Rings". You get all you need (and actually rather
more) in the original "trilogy in seven parts". But Christopher
Tolkein is making a fine (and if I might say worthwhile) living
publishing JRRT's earlier versions, and I think he's over the
dozen-volume mark by now :-)

It's a human thing: you *want* more than you *need*.
