If we think of something like a diary then that is a document that is written for pleasure and for looking back at. The author of a diary writes a bit every day and they can continue writing it for years. Of course some people who write diaries like politicians do so, knowing that their contents would be of use for historians. Many people who write diaries do not expect their diary to be of historical or of interest to others.
Now, obviously, I am not saying the Voynich is a diary, but having a long term person project done for pleasure is not such a strange thing. I can think of people who make elaborate models such as those of old ships, aeroplanes or things of that kind.
