The same is true with Georgr Harrison...Why do you think he cut that final album before his immenant death? It sure wasn't for the bettering of his health.

Lennon and Harrison did what they did because they were compelled to. You don't write a song hoping that "many generations would be able to hear his words and believe in what he had to say" You write a song because it has to come out -- releasing it is the only way to stay sane.
No great artist creates art hoping the world will remember them because of it. Idiots do that. Great art happens by accident, not by cynical design.
