becouse then you get BS like that nightmare warhammer 50k fan fic and writers who want their SM to be the best and so in 42M they use their awesome to rez the emperor, make peace with tau and eldar kill all "evil" inquisitors while making all the not so evil once peaceful happy peasents, kill all the crons, kill the chaos gods, shatter the hive mind, and find a away to reduce the testosterone in the orks to the point they are like hippies...all while telling every other SM to go beat off to their primarch in a corner

going into that relm invites bad fanon and bad fan fics...just look at the fanfiction.net stories that do it...just as i listed above but in 23 of the most poorly writen chapters you'd ever see. I'd rather not give the rabid SM weeboo who thinks that grimdark means that the MLP use their rainbow friendship beam to drive away evil, free reign over the events of warhammer 40K. also i doubt that the lore of warhammer will -end- in M42, the 13th black crusade for a very long time was this "great darkness which would end everything if it happens"  then suddenly GW hoasted the 13th black crusade turnament and used it to write the events of the 13th black crusade and the opening events of M42. GW is just making forward time progression in the writing of 40K as slow and drawn out as they can so they can 1) avoid what happened with star wars (see 80+books becoming non-cannon), and 2) to milk profit out of the fanbase
