I think he likes the clean slate.

You may wish him to continue on, eventually creating the
world's finest symphony, but he may prefer to do something
new. Creating new stuff may be more enjoyable than dealing
with the old.

Programmers are this way too. :-)

I don't think the UI should push people to keep working on
old junk that the user didn't even desire to keep.
