Maybe after Apollo 13 he decided not to push his luck. In interviews I saw with him years ago he didn't come across as a driven obsessive type. I think he was just justly proud of his bit in Apollo history.

He flew the command module, which didn't give him the opportunity to actually step on the moon. I guess he has his own priorities. He's still living, 90 years of age. I gather he has no regrets. Good for him.
