Why in the world did the Wire end?

Still hoping for a Wire movie?
In a recent interview, Amy Ryan (who played Beadie Russell) said she can't imagine a Wire reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Idris Elba (who played Russell "Stringer" Bell) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Wire movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a Wire film, Tristan Wilds stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a Wire reboot?
Recasting the Wire for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
