The answer to your question is that the reason Joseph Smith had so many revelations was because those plain and precious things needed to be restored. Since his time, there have been things revealed from time to time, but the fulness of the gospel was restored through Joseph Smith.

What we need, is not more revelation, but more understanding (spiritual, not academic) and application of the existing revelations.
I anticipate this answer, but I'm not certain it's very satisfying. Even in giving it, are you satisfied with it? I'm not.
