> Maybe the estate is so sensitive because the unpublished stuff isn't as good as the published stuff?

Or it could be the author's wish since the unpublished material may contain sensitive information. TS Eliot most famously had an embargo on publishing his letters 50 years after his death or the death of his 'mistress' depending on whoever died later.

Salinger's literary reputation is already set. Don't think any new material will add to or detract from it.
