Too expensive according to CBS.What should really be happening is that the show should be put in HD finally to celebrate!
Cost is important when you're running a business.The cost is unimportant when it comes to preserving the show for future generations, especially as more and more people buy and watch things in 4K.
If that were true we'd already have a remastered DS9 and Voyager.The cost is unimportant when it comes to preserving the show for future generations, especially as more and more people buy and watch things in 4K.
Yup. All the commentary in the world around making it "more accessible" will not cause it to make money. Show that DS9 remastered is worth the investment or accept that it won't be upgraded and that current quality is acceptable.But we still circle around to the elephant in the room. Remastered TNG did not do well in sales, and TNG was a more popular show than DS9. If CBS lost money remastering TNG, there's no incentive for them to remaster DS9.
And there are other ways to remaster DS9 now. The AI method is only going to get better.

Of course, as @DS9forever implies, the longer they wait to do an AI upscaling, the better the results will probably be.
It's also a matter of who would actually buy it and is it enough to justify the cost?Exactly.
Some remastering of DS9 was done for the documentary, "What We Left Behind". I suspect it was a test to gauge reactions, and pending the costs of new tech coming down over time.

Right now, it's not in their best financial interest to do so. Maybe later that will change, but I doubt strongly that no matter what the vocal support is, the actual financial support will be languishing, especially with current economics, at least in the US.
But eventually, when all TVs being sold are 4K (or 8K?), any shows not available in 4K will essentially disappear forever. Like b/w TV shows that weren't colorized
People say that but I don't see that happening. My parents and I still watch "White Christmas" in black and white. There are numerous films and TV shows my kids and I watch in black and white and are still available via DVD. It might be a smaller portion of the original audience but that does not mean it disappears, especially for those who want to enjoy the material as it was originally presented.But eventually, when all TVs being sold are 4K (or 8K?), any shows not available in 4K will essentially disappear forever.
