Why was metal gear solid 5 never finished?

Because Konami wanted a quick buck, not a long term investment. They'd prefer a stock over a bond to put it one way. If Konami didn't push him to drop the game or at least release it early (the latter of which they did), MGSV maybe would have added enough features and content to possibly make game of the decade.

No. The "essential" games you should play if you want to know the full lore are probably: MGS3, Peace Walker and Ground Zeroes. MGS4 happens after TPP and is more about Solid Snake than Big Boss.
