Why did Shakespeare write his plays for Queen Elizabeth The First?

If Shakespeare wrote his plays for Queen Elizabeth it would be because Queen Elizabeth was held in high regard, so Shakespeare would have written the plays in her honor and name. However, Shakespeare did not write his plays for Queen Elizabeth. None of them are dedicated to her, and he wrote most of them after her death.

There is an anecdote that Elizabeth requested that Shakespeare write a play of "Falstaff in love", which resulted in him writing The Merry Wives of Windsor, but this is an anecdote which is not to be relied on.
