Every bit of lore you add has to be cohesive with the rest of the lore. So when you add new lore you aren't just dependent on the lore that has already been written, you are creating new shackles for the lore of the future. This is something to be done with thought and care, and doubtless requires multiple members of the team to take time and focus away from other tasks they could be doing. Even if it wouldn't outright prevent the future lore that DE wants to create, every bit of lore becomes a new sentence or paragraph that needs to be cross-referenced when making future lore, and all of that cross-referencing takes time and makes future lore creation take longer and longer. It's a worthwhile question to ask whether creating any individual piece of lore is worth both the immediate cost and the downstream cost, and I think DE is in the best position to determine if the juice is worth the squeeze.
