Because by that point the initiall thrill of shiny new story! has worn off, and I'll I want is the HA I HAVE WRITTEN TRULY I AM AS A GOD endorphin high that comes from writing "The End".
I want some of what's in your head. When I get to the end of writing a story my reaction is, "Is this really going to make sense to anyone else? Who would really want to read this stuff?" Intellectually I know there is a list of people who want to read this stuff, but still.
In compensation, I guess, I like the half-finished stage. At that point I have a beginning (even if it needs polishing), and I can see the end (even if it's not quite the same end I forsaw when I started) and I can feel the story growing word by delicate word.
