Well, assuming that he did, and the evidence all points the other way, we would have to assume that he wrote because he liked writing. Since there is no evidence that he did write the plays, there is naturally no evidence as to why. He was well off, so it wasn't as if he needed the money (especially since writing plays didn't pay that well unless you were the owner of a playing company).
