Martin was probably meant to continue writing the books so the show could have material to work with. When this didn’t happen, Martin gave them whatwver he had wrote for Winds and gave them the overall ending, Bronn on throne, Dany and Cersi and Jamie and all the others dead, Jon Snow the prince that was promised and back at the wall. The number of seasons was then cut from 10 to 8, and the writers had to rush to finish the story.
Now Martin saw the reaction to the ending, decided to scrap all of Winds he wrote before the show ending, and completely rewrite it so everyone ends up in different places. He just won’t admit it and has no incentive to finish the story since he is now, as you say, a whiny rich prick.
