Would you like to see commemorative editions of the core rules of all older editions?

In 1999, WotC put out a 25th anniversary celebration set, which was the Holmes Basic set, with a bunch of other goodies in it. It was in limited editions and by all accounts sold out, was quite popular, and now demands pretty hilariously high collector's prices (partly because the L3 module included isn't available in any other place).

I fail to see why WotC couldn't do something similar again.

I think that L3 is basically the only real reason for the high price of that set.

I fail to see why WotC couldn't do something similar again.

In 1999 AD&D was still in print. Also, the leadership at WotC is completely different nowadays.
