The money is definitely part of it but consider if they'd kept the pace. I'd bet there would be 5 or 6 more seasons.
That's a lot actor payroll but same as onsite filming, effects, costume, whatever.
Moreover there is the problems of other actors taking jobs outside of GOT. Emilia Clark, Sophie Turner, Kit Harrington, Dinklage and Ian Glenn have all been fairly busy while they're doing GOT. That part won't get any better and could become a problem.
EDIT: I agree the schedule isn't optimal. But I can't blame them and it is still one of the best shows on TV.
