So: political reasons. The Biden administration refused to waste money by paying SpaceX for an extra flight. And if there's one thing this new adminstration is all about, it's funneling billions of dollars to Musk's various companies.
No, that's economics not politics.

it's not even about the money, it's because the new spacecraft that spacex is making for crew 10 is delayed. NASA doesn't want to keep the ISS uncrewed, so they're waiting for Crew 10 to arrive to have Crew 9 return. that's all
Oh, THAT'S why he wants to deorbit the ISS early
What an ass
