Why tell a story in the first place if you basically erase it in the last chapter?
My guess would be because you've lost control of it long ago, and have no idea how to bring it to an end that ties things up properly...
I don't know if you've ever watched XF? Because the end of that series was the biggest flaming ball of "OMG WTF I actually had no clue what I was doing all along and constantly contradicted myslef with no underlying concept... and now it's going to come out that I was just making shit up randomly as I went along, because I have no way to bring things to a close. Maybe if I blow everything up spectacularly enough, nobody will notice...?"
This sounds like the same kind of thing on a slightly smaller scale.
