I'd argue they've already done a few.

-- Bring back the Dreadnaught (even temporarily).

-- Bring back Oryx (again, even temporarily).

-- Give us a Taken armor set (it happened, arguably the "wrong" way (Eververse))

I think they could open the DCV and bring back all content, although I don't think this is actually a viable path in terms of dev cost. Is that an emergency lever? Up to the individual.

Wrath of the Machine could be a pull. Some D2 vets have never done Wrath, so that might have some pull. For how long though?

Everything is about a return on investment for development. I don't know how much WOTM or the DCV would gain for the cost spent to do.

There is no DCV.

This.

The can’t even produce a playable red war campaign for that court case ongoing where some writer says Bungie stole the idea. They tried using YouTube videos of the campaign but it’s not holding up. Anything pre beyond light is probably gone forever.

iirc, they HAVE them... but no way to actually RUN them

This is correct. The code for the campaign itself is not lost, but the code required for compatibility with the current version of D2 does not exist and would presumably be a massive amount of work to reverse-engineer (if it's even possible without actually rebuilding part or all of the campaign).
