No one would have minded surely, pretty sure they could have kept audience interest if they had spent more time developing certain arcs etc?
I think it was on Binge Mode I heard the budget was $10-$15 million per episode, they've ended other series earlier with big (but not that big) budgets. 'Rome' comes to mind. I would think that at least factors in.
But that said, anecdotally I know five people who plan on cancelling HBO the day after the series ends so maybe it is still worth it even at that cost /shrug
