What influenced The Silmarillion's unfinished state?

This video link may have already been posted in the past; but its appearance on The Tolkien Society (UK) Facebook page encouraged me to post it here for a wider Tolkien audience.

It is Christopher Tolkien, talking to camera, about his father's Legendarium and how The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings became the reason The Silmarillion's final form was never completed.
