Brandon has more fans than cosmere fans, and him writing other books keeps him refreshed for big cosmere works.
I can understand this, and I'm not insanely excited for Apocalypse Guard either, but it's really important to him that he takes breaks. (Plus he is outlining Stormlight 4 anyway.)
Yeah, and if you go back and read the 2016 State of the Sanderson blog post, he has two publishers. Apocalypse Guard seems like a contractual obligation that also serves to keep Brandon refreshed. I believe Brandon is earnestly interested in the material aimed at younger readers. I also have young kids and would love to share my talents with them; so I get where he is coming from. Perhaps we will see less of this stuff as his kids grow up and they get into the Cosmere.

OK, so if Brandon is 42 as of December 2017, and Stormlight 4 is published in 2020, then that makes our beloved Creator of the Cosmere 45 years old (give or take 3 months) at the publication of Stormlight 4.
Brandon has 6 Stormlight books to go, and they are taking about 3 years to produce (without allowing for a break in between the first 5 Stormlight books and the last 5). That makes Brandon 63 years old (even without a break). I'm starting to worry that much of the Cosmere won't be completed. After all, we have all of these left...
Now we learn that Brandon is writing two other non-cosmere trilogies (i.e. Skyward & Apocalypse Guard) plus Dark One and Alcatraz 2. I'm sure these will be great, but I just want to finish the story of the Cosmere before Brandon (or myself) dies.
I liked the Reckoners series well enough, but I would have much preferred to have received The Lost Metal (Wax & Wayne #4) sooner. Will any others join with me in hopes that Sanderson will drop (at least) Apocalypse Guard in favor of something from the list above?
