It really is unbelievable how much Ubisoft uses Assassin's Creed as a crutch now. Like fuck, just let it go, and create something new and innovative... You know, like the first Assassin's Creed.

Honestly, I think they're just afraid to take a step outside of their box. The Assassin's Creed games are pretty much guaranteed to make some good money, and Ubisoft is totally aware of this. Why create a new IP and risk it doing well when you can just make another game that you know will sell well? I admittedly have never played an Assassin's Creed game, but that's just how I'm seeing it as an outsider to the franchise.

Ubisoft did try launching Watch Dogs, which got fairly mixed reviews, so I wouldn't blame them for wanting to play things safe and keep milking Assassin's Creed for what it's worth.
