The District Line serves three branches to west London (plus a fourth - Edgware Road), and the Central Line serves two. Therefore the services are split between the branches. In the case of the District, all trains have to pass through Earls Court, which is rather a bottleneck. Also, tracks are shared with the Circle Line in central London. In order to maintain higher train frequencies in central London, a certain number are booked to reverse at sidings short of the end of the line.
It is largely a matter of perception. If you are on a platform in central London waiting for a westbound District Line train to Ealing Broadway, you are likely to see Circle, Richmond and Wimbledon trains pass by. If you needed any other branch, your perception is likely to be that those trains are less frequent.

I think it has something to do with being at the end of the line
Where as some tubes turn back further up the line and go back as well as receiving the trains that set off from Ealing.

Because nobody wants to go to Ealing Broadway and we don't want people escaping from their on the tube.

If I knew the answer to that question I'd be a very rich man...
