Because it was a slowly dying show and the creators are satisfied to move on. If you imagine that season 7 was like a pilot season 1, it would have been canceled a few episodes in.

Plus, I don’t know but there’s this big mouse behind much of the show called Disney and due to its contents Disney knew that Once bet fit on ABC and they wouldn’t cancel it if they were just going to move networks. They canceled the TV show and thus the actors and actresses have likely already picked new projects and shows to work on and it would be too late or to expensive to try to bring them back over other projects just to get a show that will likely underperformed.

Most shows don’t actually go on that long, especially if you’ve seen ABC’s recent pilot seasons across the board over the years. A lot of floundering with only a few squeaking by.
