Who has let readers down more, Robert Jordan or Georgerr Martin?

Robert Jordan dragged out a series for commercial reasons and altered a major storyline when fans guessed it, leading to an uneven story, and then died before he could finish (due to his own slowing down of the series), leading to what most would consider was a lackluster (at best) ending.
Georgerr Martin can't seem to write anymore and let HBO finish his story for him in a slipshod and rushed fashion, poorly handling pacing and resolution for multiple story lines. He's also not in good health, doesn't seem interested in finishing the books at all and will likely die before finishing.
Which author let down his readers more?
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

WRONG! Book 4 and 5 are Fabulous, and the prequels are more fun as individual stories

RJ not for dying, but instead for giving us books 7 to 10 (I never did 11)

If Jordan had died after Book VI and the series remained unfinished, it would have been better

Martin has definitely frustrated his fans and tested their patience far more...

Remember in 2019 he said his fans can lock him up in a cabin if Book 6 was not out by mid 2020

"Not as strong of a finisher" may be the understatement of the year

Well, okay, so far I guess he's not a finisher at all, strong or otherwise.
