It's important to consider fan psychology. The Indy series has been characterized by decline. The 3rd movie was a letdown, but I thought Crystal Skull was rock bottom, and we wouldn't be tortured again, because surely, the showrunners would realize just how awful it was and know when to walk away.

Yes, but rumors are Disney intends to have a D+ series featuring Helena and there is the persistent rumor that she'll replace Ford going forward for a new female led Indy series (because we don't have Tomb Raider!).

So clearly Disney is probably hoping to try their hand at a revival of the franchise, especially since there is no female led "adventure' movie series out there. So that could be a niche they are looking to fill.
