An OOT release, if it happens, will be a bonus feature on either Disney-Plus (most likely), or on a future box-set run at very limited numbers (less likely), numbers too small to be seen as any significant measure of “appeasement,” and it won’t be prompted by some desire to “appease” fans, since it’s been 20 years of them knowing there’s a segment of the fanbase who actively desires this, and it didn’t matter. And in the meantime, that segment of the fanbase has only continued to shrink.
