Would it benefit him to admit it? Genuine question.
In some ways. Him publicly staying that he was done with the book series would be like ripping off the providential band-aid off.
There would be an initial backlash of upset people, and there would be a lingering nagging about giving the series over to someone else for them to finish writing it, but at least people would stop asking him "when's the next book coming out?", and variations on that. And if he said "no I'm not allowing anyone else to finish it!" (as he has hunted at before but then flip-flopped away from) then people would hang moved in. They've moved on anyway to some degree. But there's a lingering resentment that is arguably bigger than that resentment would be with the above mentioned declarations.
But does he need to admit it? Do people deserve to know the truth from him? No. It's his creation, and his choice. If he doesn't want to admit it he doesn't have to.
