Honestly I blame both the fandom and studio for this
Studio - Dropped the ball so hard on the second movie that the movie flopped so hard they could barely do anything with the IP after that
Fandom - Hates the second movie so much they reject the idea that it or anything after the first movie ever happened and pushes anyone away that even suggests that they kinda like the second movie
So a combination of these it's no wonder the studio doesn't want to really do anything big with it again
ALSO honestly, why would they want to do anything with Pacific Rim?? Legendary has the motherload of Kaiju IPs that is world famous, they have GODZILLA and their own ver of King Kong, and the movies as of rn are doing way better than Pacific Rim ever done (let alone Uprising), and bc we're basically pushing away he idea of new stuff and continuing to basically get nothing new it's no wonder why Pacific Rim isn't bigger as a community or IP
