Apparently after this question was posted Buckethead announced tour dates for April to June 2016. In the linked article, it says about Buckethead that:
Since he stopped touring, he’s released a staggering 224 albums as part of his long-running Pikes series, including an unfathomable 118 last year alone.
Though it's not an official explanation, I could imagine that he was focusing on recording and releasing an insane number of albums rather than touring.
