It sounds like he wanted to devote his time, money and energy into this tertralogy. It wasn't announced by Sheridan that the fifth would be final season until after Costner left. We like Yellowstone so it's good news that Costner is returning.
He was already making $1.3 million. A final season should honestly net him $2 million x 10 episodes. The show is completely unwatchable without him. With him, it's the highest rated show on cable and will go out on top, setting the series up for beaucoup bucks in syndication.
