I don't think Theresa May wanted to enter elections in 2020 with the UK still half in the EU, which is a likely scenario. With a larger number of Conservative MPs, she will be less dependent on the Brextremeists in the party and can implement a more reasoned Brexit.

The key learning point from the election is that the Fixed Term Parliament Act is pretty ineffective.
