In order to finish Taliban for good, USA needed to go at war with a Pakistan, which used Taliban as its proxy army. Pakistan also, US ally and has nuclear weapon, so going at war with it is not a smartest option. Especially since China and Russia are nearby.
So they attempted to make locals fight against Taliban on their own, but locals are corrupted and generally don't give a ****, which means as soon as US troops are out of picture they side with Taliban.
