Maybe he retired so that people would stop discussing him throwing games in the Candidates which ensured that a Russian would win the tournament.

Wow. I just looked up his age and he's only 31.
yeah tbh retiring only seems necessary when you're in your 40s-50s when your play just gets worse
but he had health problems so I can understand why he's retiring early, it seems good for his own physical health.
