Well for one, having to wait 6 years (since we finally got a date now) for the conclusion to his second Mistborn trilogy when he writes as you say 5 books in 2 years (x3 = 15 in 6 years) is a total drag.
And I do like his books. I've read multiple series, but why anyone would want to have half a dozen or more series on the go at once from the same author baffles me.
And why not just put out a series (or even 2 and a couple of very good novellas), finish them, then move on to something else. Especially when a lot of them seem intended to be dragged on for 10+ books, which even with his exceptional writing speed, will still take him 20+ years.
A lot can happen in that time. If I was capable of being published, the last thing I'd want is to drop dead or something, leaving all the fans in the lurch on every damn series. Plus he even looks like he's a man who's going to die young...
Okay, so I didn't know it was written in that long ago, although the early links that I've read were so tentative with that no spoiler character popping up a few times with different names and he may have just linked them together after the fact. I'm not that big a fan though, so I'll acknowledge I'm likely wrong here.
Even so, multiverse metaverse nonsense really is - to me at least - the literal worst writing/plot device imaginable.

His books aren't for everyone.
