It could be that, at 85 years and with failing health, he recalls the long drawn-out saga of the decline of the previous pontiff, how the church was unable to do much of anything (unlike the usual situation where it was merely unwilling) and just had to wait for a geriatric pope to die. He's making way for an energetic young 65 year old whippersnapper.
Or it could be that you cynics are right.
