He's had issues with his vocal chords, so this is a potential reason why he hasn't given many (any?) public appearances as of late. Curious to follow, as I've wondered the same thing...

Interesting, we now have the AI tech that can help him with that. I suspect he just finances new projects and has no real need to be in the public eye. Public figures surrender a big chunk of their privacy and mental health in exchange for being in the public eye. It's probably not worth it to him. Techies tend to trend towards being introverts. It would not surprise me if he is one and just wants to be left alone. No one moves to an island that wants to be all over the news.

It's hard to see what else he can do that will match Alphabet. Talk about changing the world, he did it.

In an interview from ~2016 I believe he said the continuous damage of his vocal chords had largely been stopped (not cured, AFAIK Hashimoto's does not have a permanent cure) and he said specifically: "this is the worst it will be". I will try to find that interview, I believe it was the one with Charlie Rose.
