It is "against his wishes to return".
That may well be the very reason why.
Minuend hit it right, people think that this is the 7th instance of the third Matrix, but it is in fact a new edition of the Matrix, a fourth version. The third Matrix's fulcrum, it's center, was the Systemic Anomaly (The One). Each One, when faced with the Architect's chose, choose the Source. Neo chose the Matrix, or more importantly, Trinity. The purpose of the one is to return to the Source, he chose differently, he broke the cycle, the reason for the One ended because of this.
There will never be another One, not in the way we all know. If a One does ascend, it will be to match this Version of the Matrix.
That's one way to put it. Another way to put it is that the 3rd matrix allowed for choice but operated by trying to counter choices made. This 4th matrix does not. You are allowed to live anyway you choose.Minuend hit it right, people think that this is the 7th instance of the third Matrix, but it is in fact a new edition of the Matrix, a fourth version.

Well, I would have to say that revolutions is mainly the 7th version of the 3rd matrix. Once the matrix is reset again, giving wake to the time of "gift". That if this refers to the version of the Matrix where we as operatives can freely choose our organization, the rules have changed, so it would be the 4th version of the Matrix.
How long do you expect this peace to last?
How do you say?
"This is the 6th version" (Architect)
MxO is not "in the same section" as the third matrix that you see in the movies. There are some big differences.
What ever happened to EDIT?! 
Anyway. The clue that this is a totally different Matrix is shown at the end of Revolutions, where we see it re-written if you will. There are different ways of interacting with the simulation.
Btw. All of them are "fairy-tale".
Don't forget every time the servers go down. =p Including Beta, technically. Unofficially. Iunno, ask Walrus.
Truce: Until people wisen up about all the Smithpills in the background. Don't tell me you forgot the Recursion event already?
Neo: Dead. See •Sarah Edmontons.
Smith: Deleted. See •Cryptos Recording.
Why do we search for the dead among the living?
Neo - alive or dead, it makes no difference. I think he's dead; but even if he's alive, he is blind, and powerless. Once he returned to the Source (just as Prophecy said he would, mind you), he was disconnected from it and thereby lost his power.
The One, however, will return. Neo was the One, but the One is not Neo.
The One was a systemic anomaly (a unique abberation to the system of equations) that was the result of the eventuality of an unbalanced equation in the gargantuan mathematical simulation known as the Matrix. So saith the Architect.
In plain english, the anomaly is result of a giant math problem that just doesn't equal out. Most of the time, the math of the Matrix works. Eventually, however, thanks to the addition of choice, it boils down to a final equation that doesn't come out to 1=1. Now, how the h*ll does this result in a superhuman capable of rewriting the cade of the Matrix? It results in a human connected to, and empowered by, the Source. The Machines (read: The Architect) require the anomaly to return to the Source to be disconnected, after he has done his duty of restoring Zion, thus allowing the Machines to balance the equation. Then, left powerless, the One is simply a man.
Matrix versions were completely different, such as the version that was "perfect" (maybe everybody lived in trees, and never went hungry?). This last version of the Matrix, the one we are currently in, is the one that involves choice. It is the only version that has worked. By all accounts, there have been six systemic anamolies, including Neo. So, all six iterations of the anamoly have been in this version, because the anomaly is a direct result of adding the infinite variables of choice into a finite mathematical equation. And because choice is still very much a part of this version of the Matrix (hence, our newly-Awakened redpills), it is highly likely that the equation will once again become unbalanced and result in another systemic anomaly.
Just because Neo changed the cycle, through choice, did not mean he ended it completely. He only ended the cycles as we know them. As the Oracle knew them.
We may see Neo again; perhaps he will surface as a blind prophet. But if we do, he will no longer be "The One".
