You're right. I'm sure Fox isn't interested in making a boatload of money. It's more advantageous for them to snub Disney and continue trying to sell the 2011 set.

I'm not sure it's just money in the bank. Yes, there are a lot of people who would be interested in such a thing, but there is a certain echo chamber effect going on that overestimates the demand for this set. An entire generation has grown up with some form of SE as being “their” Star Wars.

It is also very possible that the terms of the sales and agreements would make it very difficult for a particular party to recoup their own outlay. Such difficulties can and have prevented many a worthy project from progressing.

I hope to be proven wrong. I would love to see a genuine restoration of the historically and culturally significant originals.
