Besides "The films need to be the way I want them," has Lucas stated anything as to why the Blu-rays became the travesty that they are?

From observing Lucas's behaviour in recent years, where he has told fans during face to face conversations to "grow up", for daring to question the logic of neglecting the unaltered versions, made Orwellian claims such as, the original films no longer exist, that in his mind, Han Solo always shot first and prior to 2004, Star Wars was "half a completed film", I can only conclude that he has gone insane.

The constant revisions (and now the additions to the BluRay releases) go far beyond trolling fans, he's as deluded as Palpatine, one of his own characters and like that villain, it appears that Lucas truly believes that his actions are correct and justified. The fame, wealth and prestige have transformed Lucas into a megalomaniac (or perhaps egomaniac?), intoxicated on his sense of power to indulge himself with any frivolity: to the detriment of the franchise and his reputation.
