Saw creators James Wan an Leigh Whannell wanted to kill Jigsaw and move on after Saw 3 because they didn't want to be "one-hit-wonders"

Saw X.

Despite the franchise being back in creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell's hands with the duo leading Saw 11, it doesn't sound like they regret exiting the franchise all those years ago.

"I didn’t do the sequels because I felt I had already made the movie I wanted to make,” said Wan to Bloody Disgusting. Wan made his directorial debut with Saw in 2004, but then moved on swiftly after that. "It wasn’t for a lack of money either," added Wan. As for Whannell, who wrote and starred in Saw, the writer stayed on to pen the next two movies before departing.
