This is not what they planned. A while ago they said this "reboot" could last multiple seasons.

So, ending the show with Season 7 wasn't planned. They got cancelled.

I think they were willing to continue with this "reboot" if ABC wanted to, but they also made the season somewhat self contained, since they knew it was probably likely to get cancelled, especially with actors like Colin and Bobby being done.
