He has made his bank and has no major incentive to finish the series. It’s been 13 years, the guy is 76, and he’s supposedly got two books left to go.
My money is on Sanderson getting handed the notes after Martin dies and bringing the series to an unsatisfying conclusion because, at this point, nothing will be satisfying.
Oh yeah it's way too late. The damage to ASOIAF has been done. I'd rather just let it die.

Can't say I wouldn't relish also
I was under the impression that he was born George Raymond Martin and added the Richard for his pen name as a nod to Tolkien. I'm not entirely too sure what's rubbing you in the wrong way with his "fake middle initials", considering how many writers historically published under made up names.
As for the rest, it's an opinion and I totally respect it - I don't totally disagree either...
