The amount of people who know about the stones is few. The amount of people who know the soul stones location is even fewer. The amount of people who know about it's cost? even fewer. That we know of it's Thanos, Nebula speculating about the loss of her sister, and Clint bringing the news back to the Avengers.Again, who is going to know about this? Does the ghost of the Red Skull gossip in cheap bars? Against a being wielding all the other stones yes, but now the Avengers have all those stones in their possession. Still it's a valid point that Cap and T'Challa are certain to consider and probably agree with you on. If Tony were alive however... A great point. The Ancient one explained that, and I wasn't thinking about it.You are right it's probably not a singleton, but given the amount of people with intricate knowledge of the Stones/Gems, their locations, abilities, and drawbacks is pretty limited,  I just can't imagine the number of beings walking the stone back being very high.That we know of, Thanos has the most knowledge on the subject and he didn't even know the cost at all before showing up on Vormir!I think those who would have this knowledge of this cost aren't really the types to talk about. Clint did, but Thanos didn't tell a soul (pun intended) and I think of the kinds of beings who seek these stones they are far more likely to skew toward his perspective than Hawkeye's. That doesn't mean I'm right of course. The very fact that said knowledge would be so rare indicates that I also have no flipping idea how it works.But speculate with me for a bit. if Nat did come back after Steve drops the stone, who would know about it? Who would know she was the cost in the first place? Who would connect the two together?Extrapolate that to anyone else who may have walked the stone back to Vormir and postulate the likelihood of such knowledge being as commonplace as you suggest when even the knowledge of the cost itself was so rare.However, all the in world logic aside (which I admit is total speculation from my end anyway), from a greater storytelling perspective, it would obviously lessen the impact of the sacrifice on the audience, which probably means you are right. They won't do it.</blockquote>
