Why? I never saw Hitler as particularly idealistic and unsuitable to the reality of a government wielding power and practical politics.
By the end of the war, Hitler was - to put it bluntly - insane, to a large part due to drug abuse. He would have had to be replaced because he was no longer competent to run a state.
There's a longer story here, involving among other things an incompetent doctor. I would not be surprised if the overall course of the war was affected by Hitler's insanity, but I don't know to what degree that's true.
Because the German people would eventually notice that the Jews were gone, and yet they still had all the problems Hitler had blamed on the Jews.
They could still blame the problems on a) imaginary Jews, b) Jews living in other countries, c) other "inferior" humans, d) Germans influenced by Jewish thinking, e) non-Jewish traitors of the new Reich.
(If socialist countries can be used as an analogy, they never had a problem to find some enemy to blame, regardless of how many of those alleged enemies they already killed decades ago.)
If they had really won the war, they wouldn't have had so many problems.
