Why do they not run the rafters all the way to each end?

The last rafter is used to pick up the end of the 2x4's that support the gable end overhang.
I have seen cases where the rafters ran to the end and the gable overhang is just attached to the 'face' of the last rafter but over time the overhang sags.
 
Very nice. Flat-roofed buildings always look so lego-ish. I just made up that term.

Mrs. Whydontu says it now has more architectural integrity. I think my word is better.
 
I never liked flat roofs. Prolly never will.

The new roof is definitely more pleasing to my eye while also solving numerous problems for you.

Happy happy!
