What happened to Notch?

Hi there, I would like to discuss a topic that I brought up briefly in my last post, but would like to go more in depth on. This topic would be "Why did Notch pass over the creative rights to Jeb?" This is a question that I would love some feedback as to why you actually think he did what he did.
My personal opinion is that Notch just got sick and tired of running the game. I have no doubt in my mind that he wanted to move onto other projects like Scrolls and whatever Mojang made, but my personal opinion is that he just got tired of updating and coming up with ideas for the game. Think about this, if you are forced by your parents to play a musical instrument and hate practicing it and never had any real interest in learning it at all, the moment you didn't live with them anymore, or if they said you could stop if you want, you would stop immediately because you never wanted to do it in the first place.
This is, in a way, what happened with Notch I think. Of course, he wanted to create Minecraft and had all the intentions to make it a great game, but somewhere along the lines, he changed. He just didn't have the motivation to take part in the creative process for it anymore. I'm not saying this is the exact reason at all, and, as I said, I would love your feedback as to what you think happened.
