I think these are good guesses. Also, I think this might mean he is moving on from competitive sport? Maybe not completely but he must think his days are numbered because unless he is joining another sponsor or startup in progress I dont see how he could keep up the amount of training he does while also leading a new business.
I have nothing to back this up, but he definitely has talked about not racing as much in his posts. When it comes to "being green" this is something he has been for years, many of his youtube videos has summed up the Co2 equivalent emissions for his different expeditions (f.ex: in the description of this vid

I honestly think he has taken this to heart and can't really promote buying new and shiny stuff anymore. I also think that he feels that he should use some of his influence and position to (further) promote what he think is the greater good. In addition maybe even he god a bit sour taste of the whole thing after his failed world record attempt in the 24hour race. I can imagine it got a bit rushed due to commercial obligations and interests.
However, it seems like he have an ongoing project to beat different vertical kilometer world records, so I don't think its the last we see of him.
