[NO SPOILERS] Why didnt HBO ditch D&D for more seasons?

From my understanding everyone especially HBO wanted more Game of Thrones, even George R.R. Martin said there was enough material. The only peoole that seemed opposed were the writers David and D.B.

So why didn't HBO just replace them? They obviously were growing bored and didnt care anymore by season 6 and season 8 just seems like a big "f* it" .

Was there a contract or something?
