Why?

Because Monty was not a writer and he and MK planned out everything from the beginning. I seriously doubt everything would’ve stayed exactly the same with the inclusion of an extra person having major input in the direction of the story regardless of whether they're considered one of the writers or not. Especially considering said person is the original creator of the story idea in the first place.

Even if Miles and Kerry are faithfully following Monty's intended direction for the show that doesn't mean it would’ve turned out the same had he lived. He could’ve changed his mind in some places coming up with new ideas and new directions for the plot to go that he liked better than what he’d originally planned out. Also, his interactions with Miles and Kerry in the creative process could’ve inspired them with new ideas they’ll sadly now never think of.

Either way, no matter how much the three of them worked together in tandem on the show’s creation and discussed where the plot would go in the future, there’s just no way the entire story could’ve ever been fully planned out "cradle to grave" in advance. Too much of the story has happened since his passing and all signs point to a lot more (hopefully) still yet to come to be exactly as they all intended years ago. Rough outlines and key events absolutely, most major plot twists and surprises certainly, but the longer a story goes on the more alive and fluid it becomes. Plot elements inevitable end up changing as the story develops and progress. Sometimes these changes are very organic caused by the natural progression of the story, sometimes they’re much more abrupt when it's realized a previously planned plot element will conflict with the already established story line.
