If he did so because he has been convinced he can't win, why isn't this being viewed as a repudiation of the democratic process by means of which voters select their candidate?

If instead, it's due to illness and incapacity, how does he get to finish his term? Why isn't the 25th Amendment being invoked, and Kamala sworn in as his replacement?

You mean the last 50 or so years of an unspoken tradition we have since 1968 ? For it has now always been so like this.
