Why must everything be directed by Tim Burton???

Not everything... just stuff that would benefit from a freaky, gothic, stylized atmosphere, such as The Addams Family.

It almost happened. From Wikipedia:

In 2010, it was announced that Illumination Entertainment, in partnership with Universal Pictures, had acquired the underlying rights to the Addams Family drawings. The film was planned to be a stop-motion animated film based on Charles Addams's original drawings. Burton was set to co-write and co-produce the film, with a possibility to direct. In July 2013, it was reported that the film was cancelled.
