I don't think it's just a question of integrity. The fact is that Gilligan had the advantage of making Breaking Bad in a world where the X-Files already existed. It's a lot easier for him to realize how difficult it is to keep making serialized dramas over a long period of time. He was able to see the ways that the X-Files (and a bunch of other shows) had failed.

I'm obviously ignoring the X-Files revival, but that's just because I don't see any reason to care about it at all.

Yeah, I agree. Gilligan had seen his first big show dribble off into nothingness and didn't want that to happen to a show he had more control of. If Breaking Bad had been his first big show, then maybe he wouldn't have had the experience to make that decision.

Not just dribble off into nothingness, but he was also unemployed for two years after it ended.

I recently saw an interview with him that he still has this paralyzing fear that if he takes a sabbatical and stops writing for awhile, he'll never be able to get back on the horse and create another tv show that people will like.

Oh, I didn't know that. Poor guy. His writing was definitely the best of the later seasons and he wrote my all time favourite episode, "Bad Blood".
