The Buddha used the analogy that once you reach the other shore you discard the boat.
The idea of no longer needing formal meditation after enlightenment isn't new.

It’s strongly rejected by most schools of zen, fwiw. Using meditation as a tool to get somewhere, then discarding it once you are “there” is not zen buddhism.
One interpretation is: Because you are now always in a meditative state.
