Not your screen monkey (he/him)
There may well be a market for that, but it would have seriously cheesed off the existing PF fanbase beyond all hope, while still being a risk in terms of successfully attracting that new fan base. Both extremes seem fraught, but a middle approach seems deadly dangerous as well.
I doubt it would be a question of cheesing off PF fans. But there’s no way Paizo could market PF2 like that, not would they want to. It just associates them even more with IP and trademarks they don’t control. The last time they did that, it almost killed them.
